KeyStoryAlso on another Storyline
- Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3.1 Pro with 1-million-token context window
Moonshot AI says Kimi K3.1 Pro scored 65.7 per cent on Terminal-Bench 4.0, above GPT-6 Astra at 58.2 per cent and just below Claude Opus 5.5 at 66.4 per cent.
Also on Frontier AI and cyber attacks
- Anthropic says new defences cut the data distillers take from Claude by about 90 to 99 per cent
Developers whose integrations read Claude’s reasoning may need changes, and labs that build on distilled outputs lose a cheap route to frontier capabilities.
- Only 3.6% of 857 Chinese model releases ever got a published safety result
Chinese labs publish open weights anyone can run, and this counts how rarely any safety result is published alongside them.
- OpenAI ties large reasoning-distillation campaign to people linked to Moonshot AI
Frontier Model Forum members and governments have OpenAI’s indicators from the campaign, and the encrypted-reasoning replay technique it used no longer works on OpenAI’s models.
- AI systems from Huawei and Xiaohongshu reported to score 42/42 at IMO 2026
With perfect scores reported, the IMO no longer separates top AI systems, and two Chinese systems, from Huawei and Xiaohongshu, were reported to reach 42/42.
Also on AI in research mathematics
- Moonshot releases Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weights model
The strongest open-weights model at release came from China, close behind the top US closed models on independent rankings.
- Moonshot releases Kimi K2.6, scaling its agent swarm to 300 sub-agents
Open models from China kept pace on autonomous coding agents three months after K2.5.
- Moonshot releases Kimi K2.5, an open multimodal model with an agent swarm mode
Chinese open models now include agents that coordinate many sub-agents, available for anyone to download.
- Moonshot AI releases Kimi K2, a 1-trillion-parameter open-weights model
Builders of coding and agent tools gained an open-weights model at the trillion-parameter scale from a Chinese start-up, with few licence limits below large-company thresholds.
