An example of what you can build on Sputnik Intelligence data — every number below is a live query against our corpus of newsletters and podcasts, not a hand-made slide.
How the contest between US and Chinese AI — export controls, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Huawei, SMIC — moves through the newsletters and podcasts we track, and who is driving the conversation.
23,832 posts matched · last 24 months · refreshed hourly
Weekly matches as a share of all posts that week — normalized so the line reflects real momentum, not just corpus growth.
A Chinese lab ships an open reasoning model matching the US frontier — the single biggest week of China-AI coverage in the period.
Washington widens chip export controls; Nvidia's China-only H20 becomes the flashpoint between policy and demand.
Qwen, Kimi and DeepSeek successors keep shipping on open weights; "open vs. closed" reframes as "US vs. China".
Renewed restrictions and Chinese countermeasures push coverage to a new high.
Moonshot's 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 arrives; the frontier open-weights race is now unmistakably geopolitical.
Hand-picked from the real story, not derived from the chart above — the dates are approximate periods, so don't expect them to line up exactly with a specific week's spike.
| Source | Posts | Share of their coverage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TBPN their beat | 251 | 34.2% |
| 2 | [YOU] on AI · Now their beat | 238 | 31.2% |
| 3 | Bloomberg Tech | 225 | 18.9% |
| 4 | Don't Worry About the Vase (Zvi) their beat | 216 | 37.8% |
| 5 | Latent Space their beat | 213 | 37.7% |
| 6 | ChinaTalk their beat | 197 | 36% |
| 7 | ChinAI Newsletter their beat | 194 | 51.9% |
| 8 | AI Proem their beat | 151 | 78.6% |
| 9 | Hacker Noon volume | 142 | 3.3% |
| 10 | Chinese Wouden 森中台 their beat | 135 | 61.6% |
Share of coverage separates a beat from a mention: a show spending most of its output here (“their beat”) reads very differently from a big publisher where this is a sliver of a firehose (“volume”). Both are ranked by raw matching posts.
