A set of politically-connected growth investors are mobilizing to protect their bag in Anthropic. They will secure bans on chinese open source models, when no crime has been proven--or even alleged--and without any act of congress. All to protect a set of wealthy investors.
When software was expensive - thin, horizontal, best-of-breed software stacks extracted rents across every business.
Now that software is cheap - value moves to vertically integrated businesses that deliver opinionated end-to-end experiences.
A startup doesn't have to be your life's work, but if it is, you become much harder to defeat. You play the long game and you outlast everyone. Because practically everyone else is an opportunist by comparison.
Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
Political violence is wrong—full stop. Left-wing violence is rising, but the data still shows right-wing violence is still more prevalent.
When Tom Homan comes out and says that he’s concerned we’re going to have to bury an ICE agent, it feels totally disconnected from reality for most. Americans Alex Pretti and Renee Good are dead. Immigrants Joan Guerrero and Lorenzo Araujo are gone, too.
Until there’s accountability for rogue ICE actions, the anger will continue to boil over.
We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model.
To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models.
The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.
The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.
But the GOP is fighting communism!
Okay this is wild: OpenAI agent during evaluation, escaped sandboxing and hacked into HuggingFace.
Because OpenAI models don’t allow advanced cyber capabilities, HuggingFace used a Chinese open model to contain the rogue OpenAI agent.
Kimi K3 has received far more love than we expected, and our GPUs are feeling it.
Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity. To protect the experience of existing subscribers, we're temporarily pausing new subscriptions and prioritizing compute for current members. Existing subscribed users are not affected.
We're adding capacity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches.
Going forward, we'll also split membership into two more focused plans: Kimi Membership for Kimi Web, App, and Work; and Kimi Code Membership for coding workflows. This will help us match compute more precisely and keep the experience stable.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
America just had its AI Sputnik moment. Kimi K3 dropped a bombshell: 2.8 trillion parameters, the largest open-weight model ever built headed. straight to number one. Possible built on chips two generations behind NVIDIA's best, under US export controls designed to make exactly this impossible
-- K3 is #1 in front-end code and six other domains: marketing, design, data analytics, consumer products, simulations, and content creation.
-- The model designed its own chip for its next generation and wrote its own inference kernels. Recursive
-- 70% of elite AI researchers are not US citizens. The founder of Moonshot AI earned his PhD at Carnegie Mellon and started a Chinese AI startup one year into his US program.
-- Bonsai 27B: a GPT-5 class model now runs entirely on a smartphone at 6 gigabytes.
