Summary

Chinese artificial intelligence start-up ModelBest has initiated its pre-initial public offering tutoring process with Citic Securities for a mainland China listing. The four-year-old company focuses on compact AI models that operate locally on devices and are optimized for domestic processors to bypass American chip shortages. The mandatory tutoring phase lasts at least three months, potentially setting the stage for an IPO next year, though specific fundraising targets and venues have not yet been disclosed.
