YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube().
Chinese AI pioneer Moonshot unveiled a new model that it claims performs on par with some of the top-tier platforms from OpenAI and Anthropic PBC, the latest sign that the Asian country’s artificial intelligence labs are closing a technology gap with the US.
Moonshot released Kimi K3 Friday, touting benchmarks comparable to some of the US labs’ best offerings. The model is open weight, meaning its parameters are available for users to download and customize, and outperforms all rivals except Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 on overall capability, it said.
Moonshot’s latest platform underscores how rapidly China’s AI race is evolving beyond a competition on price alone. Moonshot priced Kimi K3 at roughly Anthropic Sonnet levels, showing the company believes it can charge a premium to other Chinese models given its capabilities.
