Last week, Tencent, Alibaba, Ant Group, and Anthropic all made major moves in the AI space.
At the same time, open-source communities on GitHub also became extremely active.
A wave of DIY ChatGPT and AI projects exploded in popularity.
Some projects gained tens of thousands of stars in just one week.
These are not concept demos.
They are real, usable tools that developers can deploy, modify, and build on.
Among all the projects, nanochat stood out the most.
It uses extremely simple code to replicate the full ChatGPT workflow,
and reached 27K stars in one week.
This also became great news for Windows users.
