SenseTime Group Inc showed off new artificial-intelligence capabilities developed with the company’s access to vast troves of data and deep computing power, the latest Chinese challenger to AI phenom ChatGPT.

Chief executive officer Xu Li took the stage to demonstrate the large AI model SenseNova and a user-facing chatbot called SenseChat. Xu showed off how SenseChat could tell a story about a cat catching fish, with multiple rounds of questions and responses. Then he demonstrated how the bot could help with writing computer code, taking in layman-level questions in English or Chinese and then translating them into a workable product.
