4、intensifying geopolitical competition.This analysis examines the major transformations from the second half of 2024 through July 2025,aiming to provide guidance for navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.The most significant change in the first half of this year has been the shift in how AI mode

5、ls improve their performancefrom the capital-intensive Train-Time Compute approach to Test-Time Compute,which invests more computation during inference to induce deeper reasoning.This transformation has catalyzed the emergence of Reasoning Models such as OpenAIs o1 and Chinas DeepSeek R1,creating ec

6、onomic ripple effects that lower the barriers to entry for frontier model development.This became the technical backdrop for the DeepSeek Shock of January 2025,when DeepSeeks claims of achieving frontier performance at remarkably low cost sent shockwaves through global markets.This event elevated th
