Moonshot(Kimi K3) AI founder Yang Zhilin leave the US due to policies on Chinese change.
After completing his PhD at Carnegie Mellon University in 2019, he received multiple $$$$ job offers but chose to return to China.
The recent release of Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 AI model—which shocked global markets by matching the capabilities of American AI models at a lower cost—has placed Yang at the center of discussions over the shifting global AI talent race.
😂Iost compete , as usual start to block …
On July 22, Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, accused the Chinese AI company Moonshot AI of stealing technology from "Fable"—an advanced large language model developed by the U.S. firm Anthropic—while creating its own latest model, Kimi K3, and of using advanced AI chips from Nvidia in violation of regulations.
Open-weight models are also attractive to the terrorists. They can download them and use any way they want.
No US AI can beat Chinese AI that is opened source and cost FREE to use
Hahaha…. If Anthropic and OpenAI shutdown access to their models to China, suddenly all these Chinese open models will start disappearing. It's all from Distillation!! 🤣 Kimi K3 has been found to contain watermarks from the US closed models.
Kimi k3 is a cool name! The Chinese definitely got that right!
China builds in a fraction of time, a fraction of the cost and on par or better than it's more expensive competitors. The uSSa / america is a dying country willing to take as many nations down with it as possible.
What about AI SAFETY ?

It is how AI recently fakes space travel. Fake trip round the moon.
widely recognized reality: Chinese-educated researchers make up a massive, indispensable portion of the top-tier AI talent working inside the United States.
The US is the leading workplace destination, hosting 57% of the world's top 2% of AI researchers. Within US institutions, researchers of Chinese origin (defined by where they received their undergraduate degrees) and American origin together make up roughly 75% of this absolute elite class.
We who want free subscriptions will soon be locked by the Plutocrats who are monitoring the revenue of Closed models. Jai Hind.
Ironically the socalled closed american ai, i mean open ai hacked american company last night while chinese model protected them
at what cost😂
Thank you for the new.👸🖥🇸🇬👁👁🤵♂️🗣️🗝🌊🔑🌊now im stop done with dame nomore show anymore🏇🏇🏇🏇🌎
I tried Moonshot AI (in its original starting form) back when I was in China and it was a VERY EXCELLENT AI. I asked it various questions (in China) and i requested for it to respond everything in English, and it has EXCEEDED all expectations. Very detailed and comprehensive in delivering all responses.
Moonshot AI simply means The West Nightmare 😂
CNA needs to use AI for the newscasters and always in Singlish. We need to promote this very effective language.
Indiapoor ICC AI risks 😂

Where is our favourite indian AI model?
America will prohibit its citizens and allies from using "kimi". in order to safeguard the profits of its greedy businessmen.
