Demis Hassabis says Chinese AI companies are about six months behind leading western labs and the response to DeepSeek's R1 in 2025 was a “massive overreaction”

Google DeepMind Chief Executive Officer Demis Hassabis said Chinese artificial intelligence companies haven't been able …

Demis Hassabis says Google doesn't have “any plans” for ads in Gemini and, regarding OpenAI testing ads, says “maybe they feel they need to make more revenue”

During our convo in Davos, Demis Hassabis and I chatted about ads in AI, Google's new deal with Apple, humanoids, and Gemini 4.

Kimi K2 looks amazing and it has a “modified MIT” license, which only has this added provision. Thoughts: 1. This is a very usable license, fantastic! 2. This added provision is still absurd and likely unenforceable in a variety of real world circumstances. But aight. [image]

Moonshot's Kimi K2 uses a 1T-parameter MoE architecture with 32B active parameters and outperforms models like GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek-V3 on key benchmarks

Moonshot AI, the Chinese artificial intelligence startup behind the popular Kimi chatbot, released an open-source language model on Friday …

The release of the strong Kimi K2 base model under a good license is huge. Deepseek used a more restrictive license on their base model that included viral usage base restrictions, and the Llama 405B base has even bigger issues. This will prove to be a big deal.

Good post, I largely agree. While model scale is impressive for 3 and 4, these models feel like a clear tier 2 to me. Meta has also not done enough in the past to revise and improve models between releases, making them seem even further behind.
