Up 1475% and Down 40%: Who Captured the Windfall After Sora 2 Arrived? | October 2025 AI Top 100

Original · Unique Research · 2025-12-02

Historical edition: This is a full translation of Unique Research's December 2, 2025 analysis, preserving its October 2025 figures and arguments. Causal interpretations, product assessments (including the criticism of nanobanana.ai), competitive claims and institutional/methodology statements are the source's assessments, not independently demonstrated findings. The website nanobanana.ai is distinct from Google's similarly named models. The source contains several inconsistencies, disclosed below rather than silently removed.

Chronology note: Although this article analyzes October, it also discusses Nano Banana Pro, which Google announced on November 20, 2025—after the reporting month. That reference cannot establish a cause of October changes. Google's original announcement. The article's introductory list says “September 2025,” while its title, analysis and all eight ranking images say October 2025; both source wordings are retained. “Cut in half” is rhetorical: the displayed decreases for nanobanana.ai are 40.48% in visits and 44.55% in active users. The article's “28-fold” active-user growth for Creati is a rounded description; the chart reports a 2850.38% increase, approximately 29.5 times the previous total. Describing Sora 2 as focused on “long-form” cinematic video is also the original author's characterization, not a verified technical specification.

Image created with nano banana pro

The original cover infographic is titled “AI Going Global: When the Tide Recedes, Who Is Swimming Naked?” It frames October as a shakeout, contrasts the end of opportunistic traffic gains with the value of precise use cases, and repeats the article's figures: Nano Banana visits down 40.48%, Creati visits up 1475%, and Gauth downloads up nearly 300%. Its conclusions are that product strength enables survival through cycles, heavy productivity returns to Web while light experiences stay in apps, and firms should be “eagles in the storm” rather than “pigs lifted by the wind.” These source interpretations and all cover figures are retained in the full text; the decorative illustration is omitted.

In October 2025, the global AI industry underwent a brutal process of separating substance from hype.

With the successive releases of Sora 2 from OpenAI and Veo 3.1 from Google, the ceiling for video generation was pushed higher once again. Meanwhile, Google's Nano Banana Pro model also made waves in image Regeneration, while the giants' blockbuster updates not only raised users' aesthetic expectations, but also acted like photographic developer: the rises and falls in the data clearly revealed who was swimming naked and who had genuine capabilities.

Unique Research's October data on Chinese AI products going global shows that the market is rapidly punishing products that try to profit by riding trends, while concentrating rewards on applications that can genuinely retain users in specific scenarios.

A Cautionary Tale: Nano Banana's Collapse and the Endgame for Traffic Free-Riders

The most striking product on the October decline ranking was Nano Banana (nanobanana.ai). Its Web visits plunged 40.48%, while it lost nearly 45% of its active users.

In September, the application harvested a huge traffic dividend by capitalizing on the popularity of the model with the same name, Nano Banana, and its data surged. Traffic, however, can be acquired by riding a trend, while retention can only be sustained by product strength.

Users arrived expecting cutting-edge Google technology, only to discover a thin wrapper with a single function, and immediately felt like abandoning it. The decline in the October data shows that this crude model of extracting a traffic dividend from a name cannot last. It sounds an alarm for every Chinese company going global: in an era crowded with powerful models such as Sora 2 and Veo 3.1, users have become much more discerning, and imitators without core value face increasingly short life cycles.

The Video Battlefield: Hard-Core Survival Amid the Sora 2 Shock Wave

Unlike the collapse of imitators, leading players in video generation are confronting the giants' impact head-on.

The releases of Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 have indeed squeezed established applications. Declining traffic at PixVerse (-19.46%) and KLING AI (-9.42%) shows users migrating from first-generation novelty tools toward next-generation models. Under this extreme pressure, however, Creati's performance has been phenomenal.

Creati's Web visits surged 1475% month over month, while active users increased 28-fold. This was no accident: it found a gap outside the Sora ecosystem. While Sora 2 focuses on generating cinematic long-form video, Creati appears to have established a foothold in lighter, more controllable commercial short-video scenarios such as e-commerce and social media, capturing the enormous creative demand spilling over from Sora. This proves that if the scenario is targeted precisely enough, a great tree can still grow in a giant's shadow.

Education: Gauth's Independent Kingdom and Absolute Dominance

Compared with the melee in video and image generation, education displays remarkable certainty.

ByteDance's Gauth continued to surge in October. App downloads reached 26.69 million, an increase of nearly 300% month over month. Amid the noise of Musk praising Google's model and the whole world discussing video generation, Gauth quietly did one thing: solve students' homework problems.

Whether the models outside are Sora 2 or Veo 3.1, students' essential need remains solving problems. Gauth's success once again validates ByteDance's philosophy of using overwhelming effort to produce extraordinary results—avoiding showmanship at the model layer and relentlessly addressing essential needs at the application layer. This high-frequency scenario rooted in a real pain point has built the strongest moat among today's Chinese products going global, making it entirely resistant to the industry's cyclical fluctuations.

The Divide Between Web and App: Productivity Goes Left, Fast-Moving Experiences Go Right

The October data also reveals a clear trend: "heavy" needs are returning to Web, while "light" experiences remain on App.

Web: This remains the primary arena for productivity tools. SeaArt AI, with 32.29 million visits, and Fotor, with 15.34 million visits, remain near the top, showing professional creators' reliance on precise operations. Manus, a representative Agent, also recorded 14.51 million visits on Web, demonstrating that complex-task processing remains inseparable from desktop environments.

App: Cici AI, with 44.96 million active users, and Gauth, with 30.69 million active users, dominate the ranking, showing that fragmented needs and instant gratification are the defining strengths of mobile products.

When the Tide Recedes, the Market Returns to Product Fundamentals

The global expansion market for AI products in October was a vote about trust.

Users no longer pay simply for an "AI" label, nor are they easily fooled by similar names. Nano Banana's collapse—described in the source as being cut in half— tells us that the traffic dividend from opportunism has been exhausted. The breakout growth of Creati and the dominance of Gauth, meanwhile, demonstrate that either a defensible technical position or outstanding fulfillment of a specific need is the only ticket through the cycle.

In the post-model era dominated by Sora 2 and Veo 3.1, Chinese companies going global have only one path: do not be pigs lifted by the wind; be eagles in the storm.

The original Web section and image headers say “TOP 100”/“WEB 100,” but each included image displays only ranks 1–30. No unshown ranks 31–100 have been invented. The eight images comprise four level rankings and four month-over-month rankings, 30 rows each: 240 displayed rows, all retained below. Where a company or category cell is blank, “not specified” preserves that blank rather than guessing. Chinese company names without an independently confirmed English brand are retained in Chinese with explicitly labeled transliterations. App-store titles translated from Chinese are marked.

The source's criteria are reproduced literally: its Web MAU-growth chart adds a condition about previous-month visits, not previous-month active users. In that same chart, PLAUD's 19.32% is shown above Clipfly's 19.26%; the displayed order is retained. The article's remark that Cici AI and Gauth dominate mobile use does not mean they are first and second: the displayed App MAU ranking places Hypic first, Cici AI second and Gauth third.

03. Research Statement

3.1 Data Notes

The AI product revenue data in this report, article, ranking, or chart is based on real-time tracking of traffic redirected from AI product websites to payment gateways such as Stripe, combined with time-series analysis. This process examines historical visits, fluctuations in monthly active users, and changes in pricing strategy in depth to construct a dynamic revenue-estimation model. The model's core parameters are determined through a three-part validation system comprising paid-conversion-funnel monitoring, reverse calibration using company-disclosed data, and comparison with industry benchmark conversion rates; they are also promptly compared with and corrected against corporate financial reports, financing announcements, and disclosures from authoritative media. Sample validation shows that the mean absolute error rate of predictions remains within ±10%, meeting industry-grade research standards.

The AI product traffic data in this report, article, ranking, or chart is based on the integration of multiple data sources and processing by Unique Research's intelligent algorithms. Monitoring is strictly limited to direct user visits through official applications and websites. Specifically, the data covers only behavior in which users directly access AI products through websites and native applications. It excludes traffic generated through browser plugins/extensions, desktop client software, WeChat/Alipay mini-program ecosystems, embedded services on third-party platforms such as Discord, local deployment of open-source models, API calls, and other indirect-access scenarios. The data focuses on monitoring direct use of AI products on core user endpoints, with the aim of objectively reflecting direct use on mainstream user devices.

Given the complexity and dynamic nature of data collection and processing, as well as the market environment's continual change, the displayed data may contain a certain degree of error and omission. It should therefore be regarded as a reference for research and analysis, intended to provide users with a window into the AI product market, rather than as a definitive basis for specific investment strategies or consulting advice.

Statement on Expanded Data Coverage:

We are actively developing and testing monitoring models for the following emerging fields, which are expected to be included gradually in future quarterly reports:

AI agent (Agents) ecosystems

AI hardware-device sales and activity

Estimates of large-model API call volume

Stay tuned.

3.2 Definitions

• Geographic Dimension

Overseas AI Products: Products founded by entrepreneurs or teams not of Chinese heritage and launched primarily for global markets, including but not limited to their domestic markets.

Domestic AI Products: Products founded by Chinese-national entrepreneurs or teams and launched primarily for China's domestic market.

Chinese AI Products Going Global: Products founded by entrepreneurs or teams of Chinese heritage but targeted primarily at overseas markets outside mainland China.

• Functional Dimension

AI-Native Applications: Applications in which artificial intelligence technologies and algorithms are deeply integrated from the outset of product design, and whose core value, business processes, or user experience depend entirely on AI. These applications do not merely use AI to optimize or enhance existing functions; AI is a core component, without which the applications would cease to exist or lose their core value.

AI-Enabled Applications: Applications that integrate or embed AI technology into an existing business logic and application framework to enhance current functions or provide entirely new ones. These applications may already have mature business models and market positioning, but by introducing AI, they can significantly improve efficiency, improve user experience, or create new value.

AI-Ecosystem Applications: Platform applications that support, connect, or facilitate communication among AI technology researchers, application developers, service providers, end users, and the broader AI ecosystem. They are not limited to the technical layer, but also span markets, communities, resource sharing, and other dimensions, with the aim of promoting the adoption, innovation, and collaborative development of AI.

3.3 Metrics

• WEB Data Metrics

Visits: The total number of visits to a website during a specified period, such as one month, used to measure the scale of website traffic. Page views during a continuous period of activity count as the same session, while renewed activity after an interval of more than 30 minutes or at the beginning of a new day is counted as a new visit, thereby providing a comprehensive and precise measure of traffic and visitor activity.

Unique Visitors: The number of unique IPs visiting the target website during a specified period, such as one month. If someone visits a website on multiple days during a month, that person is counted as only one unique visitor.

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): The total revenue a website earns from subscription services provided to users over a specified period, such as one year. It excludes advertising revenue, transaction commissions, and one-off revenue such as professional services.

• APP Data Metrics

Downloads: The number of times an App is downloaded during a specified period, such as one month. It is generally measured by downloads of a single App from application stores such as the App Store and Google Play, and is an important indicator of an App's popularity and user appeal. It can also reflect the effectiveness of App promotion and marketing activities.

Active Users: The number of unique users who engage in at least one activity during a specified period, such as one month. Active users measure user participation and activity during a specific period and are generally used to evaluate an App's user scale and engagement.

In-App Purchase Revenue (IAP): Revenue generated by purchases that users make within an App to obtain virtual goods, additional services, premium features, and similar offerings. It excludes advertising revenue, direct user payments such as tips, and revenue from third-party Android app stores.

Appendix: Summary of Quarterly Trend Insights

Based on the data in this edition, the Unique Research analyst team identified the following core trends:

The first layer is one you can also sense in that passage from Gemini: the window for riding trends is rapidly closing.

The example of Nano Banana shows that a name and concept alone can no longer sustain a complete product life cycle. As models and users both mature, traffic dividends become shorter and the window for trial and error contracts. The applications that truly endure are those that give users a reason to continue after the first visit.

The second layer is that stratification in video and image generation is accelerating.

Upstream models raise the ceiling and show users where the upper limit of AI lies; downstream applications find positions in different niche scenarios:

Some make e-commerce short videos, some make corporate promotional content, some make tools for individual creators, and others use agent capabilities in video-production workflows. Creati's surge, the adjustments by KLING and PixVerse, and the steady rise of products such as Hailuo are all part of the same process: the category has not cooled; roles are simply being redistributed.

The third layer is that the value of slow-moving variables is being recognized again.

Products such as Gauth, built around enduring essential needs and high-frequency scenarios, appear especially stable in a highly volatile month such as October. They do not compete with Sora 2 or Veo 3.1 on the same dimension, yet they share the same technical infrastructure. In the data, these applications look more like the foundation of the entire global-expansion ecosystem, providing the industry with a stable frame of reference.

If the overseas market in October had to be summarized in one sentence, it would be:

Model updates are accelerating, user choices are narrowing, and competition at the application layer is shifting from "who embraces the newest model first" to "who can apply these capabilities in a real, persistent scenario."
