DeepSeek Moments Now the New Normal?
A little-known Chinese AI company recently released an open-source reasoning model that challenged Western dominance and was developed at a fraction of the cost. And no, it’s not DeepSeek.
A little-known Chinese AI company, Moonshot AI, released an open-source reasoning model, Kimi K2 Thinking, that challenged Western dominance and was developed at a fraction of the cost.
The model now ranks second on Artificial Analysis' intelligence index, behind only OpenAI's GPT 5.1, and outperformed OpenAI on a benchmark measuring complex, problem-solving tasks.
The cost gap with the West is striking, with Kimi K2 Thinking reportedly costing $4.6 million to train, and Silicon Valley has taken notice, with more US startups building on Chinese AI models, including Moonshot's.
