In Beijing, stepping into a bar and ordering a beer allows unlimited free use of China's AI models. This is a small example of how AI is rapidly integrating into the daily life of this city.
This bar is called AGI Bar, and its signature drink is mostly foam, somewhat echoing the "AI bubble." Here, the AI computing power provided to customers for free has become the new free Wi-Fi.
Customer Zuo Sheng is an AI developer who is using the bar's two NVIDIA supercomputers and the freely offered premium version of DeepSeek to build a website. This website is part of his business, and users can generate a song simply by saying a few sentences. During the interview, after saying a few words about that Tuesday night, the words were transformed into a song while sipping a beer.
"This technology has opened my eyes. I want to make the most of it," Zuo Sheng said.
When asked by the reporter whether China should slow down the pace of AI development, he answered negatively. He said the general view is that whether in foundational models, practical applications, or cutting-edge agent technology, China is still lagging behind the United States in AI and is largely in a catching-up phase.
The report mentioned that some Chinese experts cited by official Chinese media believe that the U.S. call to "slow down" is aimed at preventing other countries from closing the technological gap. As Chinese AI models advance rapidly, efforts to maintain competitiveness and even achieve leadership in the AI field have also extended to the highest leadership levels.
Back at the bar, the reporter asked the staff: "What does the emergence of such a bar in Beijing reflect about the current state of this city?"
"It’s like a cultural symbol." AI has already become part of this community. Here, the future is like draft beer, available at any time.
The report lastly noted that global concerns about AI safety are deepening, including the potential for AI wars between superpowers. But in this bar, these issues do not seem to be what people are most concerned about.
