The dark side of the moon plans to release the Kimi K3 large model soon, with a parameter scale reaching 2 to 3 trillion, closely following the leading teams in the United States

According to the Financial Times, informed sources reveal that the Chinese AI unicorn company Moonshot AI plans to release a new large language model, Kimi K3, in the near future. This model has between 20 trillion to 30 trillion parameters, making it the largest AI model in China by parameter scale, and its performance is expected to surpass the flagship model Claude Opus 4.8 from Anthropic in mainstream benchmark tests (industry speculation suggests its parameter count is around 15 trillion to 20 trillion).Unlike the currently mainstream closed-source and expensive cutting-edge large models in the United States, Kimi K3 will be available as an open-weight model for users to download and modify for free, which may create competitive pressure for leading American labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. Currently, due to the rising service fees for large models in the U.S. (for example, Anthropic has announced a 50% price increase for Opus 4.8 in September), some overseas companies have begun to shift towards using more cost-effective Chinese open-source models.In terms of the capital market, informed sources indicate that Moonshot AI is preparing for a new round of financing, with the latest valuation expected to reach approximately $31.5 billion. Meanwhile, the valuations of other AI giants in China and the U.S. are also rising; DeepSeek is starting a new round of financing with an estimated valuation of about $71 billion, while Anthropic and OpenAI have reached valuations of $965 billion and $852 billion, respectively, in their latest round of financing. In response to the aforementioned release and financing rumors, Moonshot AI has currently declined to comment.

Kimi B's head of the department: There is a bubble in the AI industry, but the fundamentals are solid; the price increase of APIs is due to tight computing power

According to a report by 21 Finance, Huang Zhenxin, the head of Kimi B-end at Moonshot AI, stated in a recent communication meeting that there is indeed a bubble in the current AI industry, but the fundamentals are very solid. Enterprises can now clearly calculate the return on investment (ROI), and the substantial transformation in productivity brought by AI has already occurred.Regarding the recent phenomenon of widespread price increases among model vendors, Huang Zhenxin pointed out that the core reason lies in the rising global computing power costs, and chip production capacity cannot meet the explosive growth in Token demand. He emphasized that evaluating the cost-performance ratio of models should not only look at the unit price of input and output but should also focus on the Cache hit rate. It is reported that Kimi's original factory Cache hit rate has reached over 90%, significantly reducing actual computing costs.In addition, Huang Zhenxin revealed that Kimi will continue to challenge innovations in underlying architecture to sustain the Scaling Law, and its Muon optimizer, which has been validated on a large scale, is now widely adopted by several mainstream large models in the industry. Regarding the "last mile" of enterprise AI implementation, he believes that as the foundational capabilities of models continue to strengthen, the technical paradigms at the application layer will also continue to simplify.

XION launched DKIM and ZK dual modules, becoming the first blockchain to store email authentication keys on-chain

XION recently published an article introducing its new infrastructure and application scenarios. XION announced the official launch of the DKIM module and the ZK module, becoming the first blockchain to directly store email authentication keys (DKIM) on-chain, as well as the first consumer-grade L1 public chain to implement zero-knowledge verification at the protocol level.XION pointed out that existing email verification solutions (including projects like zkEmail) rely on centralized DNS servers to obtain encryption keys. When email service providers rotate keys, the old verifications become invalid, and there are no historical records available. XION's DKIM module permanently stores these keys in the on-chain state, completely eliminating the reliance on centralized DNS infrastructure. Its ZK module implements zero-knowledge proof verification at the protocol level, achieving an efficiency that is 10 times that of smart contract solutions. The two work together, allowing users to prove any information in an email without exposing the email itself.XION stated that currently about 61% of employees who witness misconduct remain silent, as traditional options are often "anonymous but ignored" or "speak up but risk unemployment." With the above infrastructure, XION has realized various application scenarios, including:Anonymous reporting and workplace evaluations (proving employment status without exposing personal information)Wallet recovery without mnemonic phrases (using email as a backup key)Purchase behavior and certificate verification (without excessive sharing of personal information)Trust-based ticket resale and insurance claims, etc.It supports Gmail and Apple Mail from launch, covering approximately 3.8 billion email users globally (accounting for over 90% of the global email market). Currently, the XION platform has over 800,000 monthly active users, with more than 150 brands including Uber, Amazon, and BMW already onboarded. The official statement claims this is a verification infrastructure built for the existing internet, "capable of verifying anything while leaking zero information."
