The post argues that Yang Zhilin could not pursue his open-source AI plan in the US because of VC and tax constraints, which led him to co-found Moonshot AI in China.
It highlights the Kimi lineup’s progression from a 200K-token chatbot to K3, described as a 2.8T-parameter sparse MoE model with new efficient attention mechanisms and a 1M-token context window. The post presents Moonshot’s openness and efficiency focus as a way to make advanced AI more accessible, and suggests that stronger support for open source could help keep top talent from leaving.
