Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-07-17
Former OpenAI policy chief Miles Brundage reshared and commented on the stability issues of Kimi K3 (available via Moonshot and OpenRouter). He noted that this day-one downtime reminds us that Chinese AI companies face severe compute constraints. He also emphasized that as inference compute and test-time scaling become increasingly critical, the impact of these compute bottlenecks will be especially pronounced.
