Moonshot’s upcoming Kimi 3 is expected to close the gap with Anthropic’s Opus 4.8
The FT reports Kimi K3 will be the largest open AI model from China, with a parameter count between 2 trillion and 3 trillion.
Get smart on it
Chinese AI lab Moonshot is preparing to release its upcoming Kimi K3 model, which is expected to perform at or surpass a leading closed-source competitor's model. The Kimi K3 will be the largest open-weight AI model from China with a parameter count between 2 trillion and 3 trillion parameters. This matters because it reflects a broader industry trend where executives are pitching open-source AI models as cheaper alternatives to expensive closed-source options from major AI labs, partly due to concerns about data security with proprietary systems. Moonshot is also raising fresh capital at a significantly higher valuation than its previous funding round.

This week, OpenAI published details of GPT-Red, an internal-only automated red-teaming model. Its job is to attack OpenAI’s own models and find prompt injection vulnerabilities. OpenAI gives two reasons. Human red-teaming is time-intensive and does not scale. Commonly used robustness evaluations are already saturated by its latest models. Meanwhile, the attack surface grows. Agents read third-party data through browsers, connected apps, local files, and tools. Those affordances are
