A Kimi researcher says frontier labs in the U.S. have access to thousands of GPUs, and that this is genuinely shocking for researchers coming back to China.
The post frames compute scarcity as a major obstacle to frontier innovation in China, while also citing an informal model ranking that places Fable 5 first, GPT-5.6 Sol second, Kimi K3 third, Grok 4.5 fourth, and GLM 5.2 fifth. It adds a personal view that GLM could improve substantially with much larger parameter scales.
