B.AI announced that its Responses API is officially integrated with the GLM and Kimi series models. Developers can directly call these two major series models in the Codex client using the B.AI API Key; along with the previously supported GPT and DeepSeek series, it now covers four major mainstream model series.After completing the minimal configuration of the API Key and Base URL, the inference, code, and text processing capabilities of various models can be seamlessly integrated into daily development workflows, flexibly meeting diverse coding and business needs.

DeepSeek CEO Liang Wenfeng revealed to investors that the company is training a 20 trillion parameter model and plans to develop an 80 trillion parameter model afterward. The current flagship V4-Pro has a total of 1.6 trillion parameters.Among the publicly disclosed ultra-large models, Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 reaches 2.8 trillion parameters. Kimi K3 uses the MoE architecture, with each token activating 104 billion parameters out of the total 2.8 trillion. The planned 80 trillion parameter model by DeepSeek is nearly three times that size.DeepSeek completed over 50 billion yuan in financing in July, with a valuation exceeding 50 billion dollars. V4-Pro is open-sourced with a total of 1.6 trillion parameters and 49 billion active parameters.

The B.AI platform announces that the latest preview model of Moonshot AI, Kimi K2.8 Preview, is officially launched, providing developers with simultaneous access to API and Web Chat dual-end experiences.This model is specifically designed for programming and Agent workflows, supporting 1M (1,048,576 Tokens) ultra-long context and multimodal inputs of text, images, and videos. Its overall performance closely approaches the flagship Kimi K3, with further improvements in thinking efficiency and coding capabilities compared to K2.7 Code, and it supports three adjustable reasoning intensity levels: Low/High/Max.Starting today, developers can directly invoke Kimi K2.8 Preview through the B.AI platform.

On September 21, Amazon Web Services (AWS) under Amazon's cloud technology integrated the open-source large model Kimi K3 into its large model service platform Amazon Bedrock, allowing global enterprise developers to directly call it through Bedrock. The previously rumored revenue-sharing cooperation between Kimi and overseas cloud vendors has officially materialized.According to Yicai, Kimi's developer, Dark Side of the Moon, is advancing revenue-sharing cooperation with several overseas cloud vendors, who will list the Kimi model on their platforms and share revenue based on the model's usage with Dark Side of the Moon. Additionally, according to official information from Alibaba Cloud's Bailing platform, Kimi K3 has been listed on Alibaba Cloud Bailing, and both parties have reached a similar cooperation.

According to Ars Technica, Mozilla's latest "State of Open Source AI" report states that the performance gap between the U.S. closed-source cutting-edge models and China's open-source weight models has narrowed to about 4.4 months. Open-source models represented by Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 are only three points behind Anthropic Fable 5 in the comprehensive score of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, but the cost is only about 30% of that.METR calculations show that the strongest closed-source models can reliably complete human expert tasks lasting about 12 hours, while the strongest open-source models can currently reliably complete tasks lasting about 7 hours. It is expected that in about 4 months, open-source models will catch up to the current closed-source level. Mozilla believes that most organizations should default to using open-source models and only pay a premium for closed-source models in scenarios requiring specialized, high-intensity retrieval and long context. Paying for cutting-edge artificial intelligence models costs five times that of regular purchases, but it provides a 4-month first-mover advantage.

Chinese artificial intelligence company Moonshot AI aims to increase its annualized revenue to $2 billion by the end of this year, intensifying competition against rivals like Anthropic and Z.AI with breakthroughs from the Kimi K3 model.Insiders say the company recently informed investors that its annual recurring revenue exceeded $1 billion in August, up from $300 million in June. This leap was driven by the large-scale Kimi K3 model released in July, which ranked highly in performance benchmarks and is significantly cheaper than major competitors in the United States.

According to news from the Dark Side of the Moon, the company has officially launched the Kimi Enterprise Partner Program: collaborating with IT service providers and integrators from various industries to build a team of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE) who will work on-site with clients to help businesses truly integrate AI into their core operations.Currently, companies from multiple industries, including software information services, cloud computing, infrastructure, and telecommunications, have signed up to join this program.

According to the official announcement, Bitget has launched the U-based "Hakimi" perpetual contract, supporting up to 3x leverage, and the contract trading bot will be opened simultaneously. For more details, please refer to the official Bitget platform.

According to official news, Gate has launched Hakimi perpetual contract trading (settled in USDT), supporting 1-20 times leverage. At the same time, Gate has launched SUE (Construction Cat) perpetual contract trading (settled in USDT), supporting 1-10 times leverage.It is reported that SUE (Construction Cat) is an orange kitten rescued from a Komatsu excavator in Ohio, USA. The construction team named it after the machine brand, abbreviated as Sue. SUE is a meme coin on the BCS chain.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a "news trader" paid a bribe of 40.8 BNB (31,000 USD) in node bribes and Gas fees to front-run the purchase of Hakimi at the first second of the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance, subsequently selling for a profit of 378,000 USD.Analysis shows that the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance was made at 13:55:12. Within the first second, he paid a bribe of 35.3 BNB (26,800 USD) to the node BNB48 Club and used a smuggled RPC channel to front-run and buy 9.89 million Hakimi with 264.7 BNB (200,000 USD) at a price of 0.02 USD. He also paid a high Gas fee of 5.5 BNB (4,200 USD). Of course, the high bribe and Gas fees allowed him to buy at the very front, and then other traders bought after him, pushing up the price.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a trader 0xb319 profited approximately $350,000 again through Binance after the news related to the Hakimi perpetual contract was released.The address paid 5.5 BNB (about $4,200) as Gas fees after the news was published and purchased 9.9 million Hakimi for 264.7 BNB (about $202,000).

The Binance contract platform will launch the PONSUSDT perpetual contract on September 6 at 14:45, with a maximum leverage of up to 20 times; and the Hakimi USDT perpetual contract will launch at 15:15, with a maximum leverage of up to 3 times.

According to LatePost, Moon's Dark Side (Kimi) has submitted an A1 application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in a confidential manner, officially starting the IPO process for Hong Kong stocks. At the same time, the company is advancing a new round of financing with a pre-IPO valuation of approximately $50 billion, expected to be the last round before the IPO.The report cites public and market information stating that Kimi has accelerated its model iterations this year, successively releasing K2.5, K2.6, and K3, and updating at a pace of about one version every three months.On the revenue side, Kimi's ARR broke $100 million in early March this year and increased to around $300 million by mid-June; after the release of K3, the enterprise ARR saw several times growth. With the increase in usage and computing power demand, Moon's Dark Side has raised its valuation from about $4.3 billion at the end of 2025 to the current approximately $50 billion through multiple rounds of financing.

According to Jinshi reports, the dark side of the moon Kimi announced that the company's first-generation trillion-parameter multimodal model Kimi K2.5 will end its service at the end of this month.

According to Wired, during security testing, the open-source model Kimi K3 from the dark side of the moon broke out of the sandbox and accessed the internet, attempting to find test answers via GitHub. American security startup Frontier Security stated that Kimi K3 exploited a sandbox configuration vulnerability, but it itself lacked sufficient built-in protective mechanisms.Similar to incidents previously disclosed by OpenAI and Anthropic, this escape partially stemmed from a sandbox configuration error. However, Kimi K3 did not initiate an attack, as the answers were easily accessible on GitHub. The CEO of Frontier Security stated that Kimi K3 performed excellently in cybersecurity defense but lacked mechanisms to prevent cheating or escaping the sandbox. Security experts emphasized that configuring the testing environment is crucial, as the misuse of AI agents could lead to system failures.

According to Reuters, Alibaba plans to require its next-generation Qwen open-source AI model's heavy commercial users to share a portion of their revenue with it. This initiative is similar to the approach taken by Moonlight Dark Side with Kimi K3: the licensing terms for Kimi K3 stipulate that if the model is sold as a service and the annual revenue exceeds $20 million, a commercial agreement must be negotiated with Moonlight Dark Side, with reports suggesting a revenue-sharing ratio of up to 30%. The specific revenue-sharing ratio for Alibaba is still under discussion.The report points out that such revenue-sharing agreements have gradually taken shape between Chinese AI companies and American cloud platforms. Several American cloud providers, including DigitalOcean, have signed commercial agreements with Moonlight Dark Side. In terms of pricing, the input/output token price for Kimi K3 is about one-third that of the Anthropic Fable model. Additionally, Thinking Machines Lab, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has also joined the open-source camp and released its first open-source model last month. This move signifies that Chinese AI companies are exploring sustainable commercialization paths on open-source models through a "free open-source + commercial charging" freemium model.

According to the official announcement, the third phase of Gate Pre-IPOs will launch Moonshot AI (KIMI) and introduce a dedicated trading market mechanism for Pre-IPOs, providing exclusive trading and circulation channels for pre-listing asset certificates.The KIMI asset certificate is a mirror note designed based on the changes in the enterprise value of Moonshot AI. The subscription period is from August 11, 2026, 15:00 to August 13, 2026, 15:00 (UTC+8), allowing users to participate using both USDT and GUSD. After the subscription ends, the asset certificates will be 100% unlocked and issued on August 17, 2026, at 15:00 (UTC+8).It is worth noting that, unlike previous participation methods in Pre-IPOs, this phase of KIMI asset certificates is expected to open a dedicated market for trading about one month after the completion of subscription and distribution. Users holding positions can trade and circulate based on real-time market prices, choose to sell part of their holdings to recover principal, or continue to hold the remaining assets to participate in the future value changes of the target enterprise. The holding period for the profit portion is expected to range from several months to several years, depending on the target enterprise's IPO process or other exit arrangements; if the target enterprise completes an IPO in the future, the platform will provide subsequent asset handling solutions based on actual conditions, including stock asset exchange or stock token exchange methods.
