However, analysts also caution that technology maturity must be matched with safeguards.
“Technically, there is no difference between the Chinese models and those from the rest of the world,” said Charlie Dai, VP and principal analyst at Forrester. “Whether it’s the GPT series, Llama, Mistral, or Qwen by Alibaba, enterprise leaders should ensure guardrails for security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.”
That said, Dai expects support for multi-model to remain a central focus. “Multi-model support is the key area of model development and related technical domains, from data infrastructure to agentic AI applications, in the next 12 months. There will be more to come from leading vendors around the globe,” he said.
