B[The latest global AI large model weekly token call list is released: Step 5 Preview ranks among the top three in the world] October 19th, according to the latest data from OpenRouter, the total number of global AI large model calls last week (October 12th to 18th) was 164 trillion Tokens, a month-on-month decrease of 4.65%. Among the large AI models on the list, the weekly use volume of China's large AI models reached 79.18 trillion Tokens, a month-on-month decrease of 8.72%; during the same period, the weekly use volume of large American AI models was 17.36 trillion Tokens, a month-on-month decrease of 8.49%. The number of weekly calls for large models in China has surpassed that of the United States for 25 consecutive weeks, ranking first in the world. The reporter noticed that last week, the top five global calls were all large Chinese AI models. Among them, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash ranked first for two consecutive weeks, with a weekly call volume of 32.8 trillion Tokens, a 20% month-on-month decrease; GLM 5.3 Flash ranked second, with a weekly call volume of 12.2 trillion Tokens; Step 5 Preview rose to third, with a weekly call volume of 11.5 trillion Tokens, a month-on-month increase of 30%.

The two parties will further deepen the implementation of strategic cooperation in the field of charging and swapping, integrate their respective advantageous resources in the fields of charging and swapping infrastructure construction, technology research and development, operation services, etc., jointly promote the open sharing and industrial collaboration of China's new energy vehicle charging and swapping system, and accelerate the scale and market-oriented development of the charging and swapping system. On September 23, Geely Automobile Group officially released the new generation AI energy replenishment technology "Geely Smart Charging". Relying on the industry's first full-scale energy model "Xing Rui PowerMind Energy Brain" jointly developed by Geely and Step Star, it can achieve a peak charging power of 2.2 megawatts (2250 kilowatts) per gun, the maximum temperature is always lower than 65°C, and the battery cycle life is increased by more than 20%. The signing of a strategic cooperation framework agreement between Geely Holding and NIO is a key move for Geely to further open up and collaborate on AI smart charging capabilities and battery swap ecology under the strategy of "all-area AI, all-area security". B[Step 5 Preview, a new flagship base model, is released and ranks among the top three open source models in the world's authoritative list] Step Star releases a new generation of flagship base model, Step 5 Preview, focusing on AI programming, software engineering, professional knowledge work, finance and other scenarios to improve the overall performance of the model in real-world Agentic tasks, achieve a good balance between capabilities, cost, efficiency and scene coverage, and further expand the optimal boundary between intelligence and cost. In the global authoritative list Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (AA Comprehensive Intelligence Index), Step 5 Preview ranks among the top three open source projects in the world. It is worth noting that the single-task cost of this model is only 1/8 of that of Claude Opus 5. It is understood that Step 5 Preview will be officially open sourced on October 15th.
