Kimi K3 is a giant open-weight AI model from China's Moonshot AI. Here's what it is, who built it, and why its release rattled Nvidia and chip investors.
Read more →China's Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter open model with a 1-million-token context window — a system the company calls the world's first open 3-trillion-class AI model.
Read more →PrismML has released Bonsai 27B, a 27-billion-parameter open-weight model compressed to under 4GB, small enough to run natively on a phone while keeping most of its reasoning ability.
Read more →Mira Murati's startup released Inkling, a 975-billion-parameter open-weight model built for developers to fine-tune and adapt, rather than to top leaderboards.

DeepSeek is the Chinese AI lab whose cheaply trained, open-weight models triggered Nvidia's biggest one-day stock drop and reshaped how the industry talks about AI costs.
Read more →Meta now builds two separate AI model families: the open-weight Llama and the new proprietary Muse. Here's how they differ, and how to try either one.
Read more →GLM is the open-weight AI model family from Chinese lab Zhipu AI (Z.ai) — free to download and self-host, and competitive with top US models at a fraction of the API cost.
Read more →Z.ai has released GLM-5.2, a 744-billion-parameter open-weight model that matches GPT-5.5 on key benchmarks and trails Claude Opus 4.8 narrowly — trained entirely on Huawei silicon with no Nvidia hardware.
Read more →Chinese tech company Meituan has disclosed that "Owl Alpha," an anonymous model that topped OpenRouter rankings for two months, was its 1.6-trillion-parameter LongCat-2.0 — trained entirely on domestic chips and now free under an MIT license.
Read more →Mistral's new open-source model for Lean 4 fully saturates the miniF2F theorem benchmark, solves 87% of graduate-level math tests, and found five previously unknown bugs in production code — at roughly $4 per proof versus $300 for competing systems.
