AI hit a major inflection point today. Kimi K3's 2.8T MoE open-weight release (with tighter commercial licensing) sets a new frontier for open models, while NVIDIA's $5B investment in Ilya Sutskever's SSI lab signals the industry's biggest bet on safe superintelligence. Beijing fast-tracked a $295B

AI infrastructure and agent engineering dominated the news. DeepSeek's leaked CEO call revealed ~20K H-equivalent cards and a strong preference for NVIDIA over Huawei, while a job posting hinted at managing 100K-card clusters — contradicting public statements. Andrew Ng open-sourced OpenWorker, a lo

AI's competitive landscape shifted dramatically today. Alibaba dropped Qwen3.8 — a 2.4T parameter open-source model second only to Claude Fable 5 — while leaked Sam Altman emails revealed OpenAI's 2019 plan to "kill" competitor funding by releasing local GPT-3. Kimi paused new subscriptions after de

Two massive open-source model launches reshaped the AI landscape today. Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8T-parameter behemoth that tops Frontend Code Arena ahead of Claude Fable 5, while Thinking Machines Lab's Inkling (975B MoE) matches Nvidia's flagship at one-third the token cost. Meanwhile, Mi

AI Tech Daily - 2026-07-16

AI hit a major inflection point today: Thinking Machines Lab dropped Inkling, a 975B-parameter open-source MoE model, but early tests show it lags far behind Chinese frontier models and fails the Lem test — a basic reasoning benchmark every frontier model has passed since DeepSeek-R1. Meanwhile, Chi
