So finally Kimi-k3 is not really open-source https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3/blob/main/LICENSE I'm a bit disappointed. #kimi #ai #opensource

Eine einzelne Saite macht noch keine Musik, und ein einzelner Baum macht noch keinen Wald. Die Welt ändert sich in unglaublicher Geschwindigkeit, nur die EU und vor allem Deutschland scheinen das nicht mitzubekommen. Letztes Wochenende war die World AI Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai.

The Moose has Left the Woods! OR when your business model is crumbling before your eyes - go BEG the government to "protect" your product! AI Executives are shitting their pants given the release of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3. I seem to recall a similar situation re DeepSeek-1 in Jan. 2025. All the freaking out about "winning and losing" and whining about "distillation" re China are the WRONG things to focus on. It is a fallacy to think US Frontier Labs would be successful in locking down AI models and charging high prices for access in perpetuity. It is inevitable that open weight models would catch up, and put SERIOUS pressure on pricing. Welcome to software - It just happens that China is leading the charge on this one. The magic is NOT about the model. The magic is creating the guardrails and infrastructure (ecosystem) around the model, and supporting practical use cases the model excels at, and making them so good to use that no user wants to switch to something "almost as good", even if it’s a touch cheaper. Net-net, governments cannot stop software at the border. Import/Export controls will NOT be effective at stopping Chinese firms from distilling US models, even if the USA is successful at starving China of inference, which also will NOT happen. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-execs-quaking-boots-chinese-models #AI #LLMs #Kimi-K3 #Kimi #FrontierModels #USA #China #ImportControls #ExportControls #Software #Distillation #Open-Weight-Models #AIPloicy #Protectionism #AIRegulation #DeepSeek #Software #OpenSource #Moonshot

The release of China’s Frontier AI model, Kimi K3, as an open-source model is the next ‘Sputnik moment’ for the US and the West. Moonshots, arguably the most important podcast for AI enthusiasts, coined this comparison with Sputnik 1 when Deepseek emerged on the global scene and changed everything. Now, with Kimi K3, there is a model that is in the same league as the flagship AIs from the billion-dollar AI labs in Silicon Valley. The only difference is that, thanks to its open-source licence, Kimi K3 is openly and unregulated available to anyone who wants it and has the necessary hardware. Thanks to the sanctions imposed on China by the world’s freest country, Kimi K3 has significantly lower hardware requirements than the US models. Monnshot claims a 99 per cent reduction in resource consumption in some areas. So whilst the US and its European offshoots have to build new nuclear power stations, all Kimi needs is one or two new solar panels on the garage roof. Far more serious – and far more devastating for the US AI industry – than Chinese ‘Frontier’ models is so-called ‘Liquid AI’. Liquid AI is the marketing term for AI systems tailored to specific purposes. For instance, huge large language models (LLMs) from data centres are not required for speech recognition or image interpretation. If, for example, you want to sort your photos locally and display all the photos of your child or dog that you have on your phone, a 50-MB mini-AI is perfectly sufficient. It runs locally on the phone and doesn’t ‘call home’, neither to China nor to the US. And so there are 1,000 use cases that require only small, extremely specialised models. This only works if the large models from which the mini-AIs are distilled are open source. As China is the only country making the world’s full-fledged LLMs available, it is undoubtedly the undisputed global market leader. And in Silicon Valley, the transhumanists can already start uploading themselves to the cloud – it’s bound to come in handy one day.

Des Westens schwache Blase und Chinas Dominanz – der KI Krieg Die Veröffentlichung von Chinas Frontier-KI-Modell Kimi K3 als Open-Source-Modell ist der nächste Sputnik-Moment für die USA und den Westen. Moonshots, der wohl wichtigste Podcast der KI-Fanboys, prägte diesen Vergleich mit Sputnik 1 als Deepseek auf der Weltoberfläche https://word.undead-network.de/2026/07/20/des-westens-schwache-blase-und-chinas-dominanz-der-ki-krieg/ #china #ki #kimi #kimik3aideutsch #liquidAI #oss #usa

Wenn selbst die NZZ KI-Firmen für überbewertet hält … "Sollte Kimi K3 exportiert werden dürfen, droht seine Kombination aus Leistungsfähigkeit, Anpassbarkeit und Kosteneffizienz den Markt mit KI-Modellen umzuwälzen. Dafür muss Kimi K3 nicht zwingend in jeder Hinsicht das beste Modell der Welt sein. Es dürfte auch so für viele Nutzer attraktiv sein. Damit stellt Moonshot AI nun die hohen Bewertungen von Firmen wie Open AI oder Nvidia infrage." #KI #Kimi #KimiK3 https://www.nzz.ch/technologie/zweiter-deepseek-moment-chinesisches-startup-veroeffentlicht-ki-modell-das-die-besten-amerikanischen-anbieter-ueberholt-und-wesentlich-weniger-kostet-ld.10015997

Open-weight AI models, many developed by Chinese companies, are quickly expanding their role in enterprise AI systems, according to new research. https://www.computing.co.uk/news/2026/ai/chinese-open-weight-ai-models-gaining-ground-as-enterprise-adoption-accelerates-report?utm_source=mastodon_org&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=July_LLM #ai #china #openweight #deepseek #glm #kimi #anthropic #openai #technews
