OpenAI Goes After The Jugular Of China’s Open-Weight AI Models, Cuts Token Prices By Up To 80%
Let the AI price wars begin. OpenAI has just fired a veritable volley across the bow of China's growing number of AI labs, sacrificing its sky-high margins to try to starve the budding open-weight AI economy.

MoonShot CEO Says “OpenAI Didn’t Invent Anything New,” As Sam Altman Signs The Letter Calling For Open-Weight AI Models After The Fact And Under Pressure
It is wholly ironic that OpenAI, a company presumably founded on the principle that AI should be openly accessible to everyone, had refused to sign a letter advocating for open-weight AI models, with Sam Altman only conveying his support after the fact and under immense public pressure. At the same time, the CEO of Moonshot, a company that just unveiled the Kimi K3 open-weight AI model, one that seriously endangers the moat that both OpenAI and Anthropic were meticulously building around their proprietary models, has just issued a scathing take-down of OpenAI, demolishing its star credentials within the ecosystem. Moonshot […]
