NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform offers disruptive token throughput at a much lower cost than Blackwell, showcasing its Agentic AI prowess. NVIDIA Software Stack Optimizations Continue To Propel Blackwell, But Vera Rubin Sits In A Whole Different League For Agentic AI Use Cases The latest on-silicon agentic AI performance results were measured by NVIDIA using real-world agentic coding trajectories. The benchmark used was SemiAnalysis AgentX, which evaluates AI infrastructure such as Vera Rubin in agentic-coding inference workloads across various models such as Kimi K3, MiniMax M3, GLM5.3, Qwen3.5, and DeepSeek V4 Pro. The following table explains the key metrics of AgentX: […]

It is one of the most divisive topics in the AI sphere right now, with far-reaching geopolitical implications as a grave add-on: did Moonshot distill its Kimi K3 model from Anthropic's model? Most detractors point to the ~2 week window between the public rollout of Fable and Kimi K3 to suggest that an expansive distillation is virtually impossible here. But, a newly discovered API vulnerability might just be the smoking gun US-based AI labs have been looking for. Moonshot's Kimi K3 demonstrated an unusually high statistical probability of predicting and continuing Claude's text versus other open-weight models like DeepSeek-V4-Flash AI […]

Moonshot, the progenitor of the wildly popular Kimi K3 AI model, is apparently racing to bank its recent success with an IPO, one that might award it a valuation that is in excess of $50 billion. Moonshot is now trying to bank its success with an IPO after Kimi K3's viral success As per the reports coming out of China, Moonshot is apparently aiming to file for an IPO as soon as this month in Hong Kong, potentially raising over $3 billion in new liquidity. Do note that Moonshot recently raised over $3.5 billion in cash at a $35 billion […]

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. OpenAI is now trying to starve out China's AI labs by cutting token prices by as much as 80% on GPT-5.6 Luna OpenAI has just slashed the token-based pricing for GPT-5.6 Luna by 80 percent, with input tokens now priced at just $0.2 per 1 million from their earlier perch at $1, and output tokens priced at just $1.20 per 1 million vs. the […]

Either Moonshot is oblivious to the dangers of the path its skirting, or egregiously indifferent. After all, why else would it choose to double down on the same furtive strategy that worked for the Kimi K3 model, and likely will for the Kimi K4 as well, but at huge geopolitical costs, risking the utter wrath of the Trump administration in the process. Moonshot is trying to furtively leverage an even bigger stash of compute resources from NVIDIA to train its upcoming Kimi K4 model As we explained in a recent post, Moonshot has just unveiled its brand-new, open-source Kimi K3 model, […]

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 […]

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang has just penned his first post on X, advocating for open-weight AI models as the Trump administration mulls steps to thwart China's AI labs from leapfrogging by distilling US frontier models. Huang's advocacy is somewhat self-serving, though, especially as open-weight AI models are only expected to increase the overall demand for compute, including GPUs, while NVIDIA has done all it can over the past few years to maintain and extend its CUDA moat. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang used his inaugural post on X to advocate for open-weight AI models Jensen Huang has just posted a letter that has […]

In a dramatic development that should surprise no one in hindsight, a high-level official in the Trump administration has just declared that Moonshot's Kimi K3 model has been distilled from Anthropic's Fable, and further trained on NVIDIA's GB300 GPUs in Thailand. Michael Kratsios asserts that Moonshot covertly owns some NVIDIA GB300 servers, and accessed additional GB300 GPUs in Thailand to train its Kimi K3 model As we reported recently, the proclivity of China's AI labs to distill frontier US models is raising hackles within the Trump administration, especially given the fact that there is no easy way of preventing this.

Moonshot AI’s frontier model, Kimi K3, has sent goosebumps around the industry, with one of its highlights being able to build a chip within just 48 hours that can deliver more than 8,700 tokens per second. There’s also concern surrounding the AI model undercutting the likes of ChatGPT and Claude, as Microsoft has been reported to pocket $600 million in savings as it looks to swap. Fortunately, NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang is here to ease all concerns, stating that the industry has the incorrect impression of Kimi K3. Jensen says people had the same idea with DeepSeek as they do with Kimi K3; […]

Ever since Microsoft transitioned its Copilot Cowork offering to a metered pricing architecture, where you pay for the number of tokens consumed, it has been eyeing open-source models from China with particular interest, especially given the materially lower inference costs that such models entail. Now, a new report suggests that Microsoft might add Moonshot's Kimi K3 model to Copilot, risking the ire of the Trump administration in the process. Microsoft is working to add Kimi K3 model to its Azure cloud services, while its engineers continue to evaluate the model for a deployment within Copilot According to The Information, Microsoft […]

OpenAI is predictably feeling the heat from Kimi K3's shock elevation to the top of Arena's front-end code rankings, and is now resorting to xenophobia and 'intellectual elitism' to try to protect its CapEx-heavy turf. OpenAI's head of strategic futures responds to Kimi K3's ascendancy by theorizing that an open-weight-model-dominant world is equivalent to "full AI communism" As we explained in a recent post, Moonshot has just unveiled its brand-new, open-source Kimi K3 model, which spans 2.8 trillion parameters, and is designed specifically for frontier-scale intelligence. The model is multi-modal, has a context window of around 1 million tokens, and offers […]

Moonshot's Kimi K3 AI model has suddenly taken the world by storm, jumping to the apex spot in Arena's front-end code rankings seemingly out of the blue. Yet, below the surface, a growing quantum of anecdotal evidence indicates that the Kimi K3 has been distilled from Anthropic's Claude, with the model going so far as to identify itself as such in at least one conversation that is doing the rounds on social media. The Kimi K3 model's training and inference cost efficiency is poles apart, which indicates an underlying discrepancy As we explained in a recent post, Moonshot has just […]
