Benchmarking Chinese AI Engines for GEO Monitoring: Speed, Cost and Citation Quality
直接答案
We ran the same Chinese prompt set through DeepSeek, Doubao, Kimi and ChatGPT across dozens of real monitoring calls, logging latency, per-run cost and citation structure. First-hand data for engine selection — and the basis of AIHonest's engine methodology.
The first step of GEO monitoring is choosing engines. What vendor pages won't tell you: per-run monitoring cost varies 30x and latency varies 50x across engines. Below is first-hand data from AIHonest's production pipeline (2026-09, same Chinese prompt set, multiple samples averaged).
