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.
