# How to pronounce Chinese AI lab + model names

Pinyin to English: Qwen, Kimi, Doubao, Baichuan, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Manus, Kling, Yi, Trae.

Chinese AI labs publish weekly under names that look unfamiliar to English speakers. Each is a Pinyin transliteration with a regular Mandarin reading — once you hear it once, it sticks. We document the approximate English respelling for every major lab.
