Redeep is an independent English-language publication covering China's AI industry — for developers, builders, and anyone trying to understand where frontier AI is actually heading.
Since DeepSeek's breakthrough in early 2025, the world has woken up to the fact that some of the most important AI work is happening in China. But the best information — the real product updates, the engineering decisions, the lab dynamics — lives inside Chinese WeChat channels, internal memos, and forums that most of the world can't access.
Redeep bridges that gap. We read the Chinese-language sources, filter out the noise, and write clear, opinionated English analysis. Not translation. Analysis.
The focus is practical: DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, Doubao — the models and labs that matter to people building real products. We cover API pricing, benchmark results, architectural decisions, and what it all means for developers choosing where to build.
Redeep is a one-person operation, written and edited by a single author based in China with direct access to the Chinese AI ecosystem. It runs on strong opinions, first-hand sources, and a lot of AI assistance.
