- Kimi CEO Zhilin Yang argues that in AI, the decisive factor is not the model alone but how the team is organized.
- The post highlights Moonshot’s K3 strategy: it intentionally sold out every plan instead of throttling existing users, even at the cost of near-term revenue.
- It contrasts that with Anthropic, which reportedly cut users’ usage by 50% at peak when it hit capacity pressure in April.
- The core thesis: long context is the AI era’s RAM, and the real moat may be organizational execution rather than the model itself.
