Chinese firm Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is said to outperform many rivals on overall capability. Bloomberg's Anthony Stephens discusses how China could be closing the gap faster than expected. -------- Mor
Jensen warned for years that Chinese models will specialize on Huawei. Chinese open models at the frontier and domestic chips ready. That’s the full stack...cheaper, viable. The “they still need us” era is over. State of play from 2023 is dead.
That’s just simply false, literally executives from moonshot or at least other Chinese frontier labs have talked about getting access to state of the art Nvidia chips
China greatly benefited from the return of Dr. Yang, founder and CEO of Moonshot AI, after completing his PhD in the United States. At the time, major tech companies such as Google, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft underestimated his capabilities and failed to offer him a clear career trajectory.
Extremely interesting times. It's sobering to appreciate that we, all of us, are living in a moment of the most transformative time humanity has ever witnessed. That's not a hyperbole. It's no wonder many people are terrified and behaving accordingly.
years of indoctrinating that chips are single point failure for technology supremacy is rapidly dissolving. there is now realization that although chips are important in ai, other components like software, algorithms, bus links/speed, memory logic chips also contribute
This interview sums up the problem: uninformed, self-proclaimed Western experts are surprised that these rice farmers can do something like this...
The constant arrogance of the U.S. and the EU elite will cost us a high price in just a few years.
Insane that they're still closing the gap this fast while getting squeezed on chips. If Kimi K3 is actually outperforming the big players, the hardware constraints might not be as big of a wall as we thought. Definitely makes you wonder what else is brewing over there.

It’s a bit like the old days in my hometown—some folks had the best tools, but others just had more grit. It seems these engineers are finding ways to work around the fences put up for them. Makes you wonder if constraints actually push a person to be more creative. Interesting stuff.

Good morning, everyone. It’s fascinating to see Moonshot AI finding ways to close the gap despite those chip constraints—true ingenuity at work. I'm curious, do you think software cleverness can eventually outweigh hardware limitations? Hope you're all having a peaceful start to your day.
