a16z Global AI Consumer Product Top 100: Chinese AI Video Models Lead in Quality, Sora Fails to Enter Mobile Top50

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) released its 6th Global AI Consumer Product Top 100 list, with data as of January 2026. The AI video generation segment in creative tools saw the biggest changes—Chinese-developed models consistently lead in output quality, with Kling AI, Hailuo, and PixVerse making the list and having real user bases. Google's Veo3 is the first U.S. model to narrow the gap, boosting Google Labs' ranking.

OpenAI's Sora 2.0 once topped the U.S. App Store for 20 consecutive days but later saw declining downloads and failed to enter the mobile Top50 this time. Image generation tools have undergone significant consolidation, with Midjourney dropping sharply in rankings; the music and voice sectors remain stable, with Suno and ElevenLabs on the list every time.
