Chinese team simulates a human brain using 86bn neurons and trillions of synapses. Despite US chip sanctions, their team innovated with distributed learning using domestic GPUs. The model achieved 93% correlation with real brain activity, enabling groundbreaking medical research without brain testing. In China, partnerships between hospitals, companies, and universities drive rapid innovation, contrasting with slower progress in the West.
