Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI launched an open-source model called Kimi K2, featuring 1 trillion parameters and advanced capabilities for coding and complex tasks. The company claims Kimi K2 outperforms other open-source models like DeepSeek’s V3 and rivals some U.S. AI models. This release is part of a growing trend among Chinese firms—including Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and DeepSeek—to open-source AI models, contrasting with U.S. tech giants who keep their top models proprietary.
