Kimi K3 Just Broke The Economics Of AI

Two Minute Papers

Summary

The video introduces Kim K3, an incredible new open-weights AI model capable of coding a full Mac OS and various games. Despite its massive size (2.8 trillion parameters), it's highly accessible: you can try it for free online or use its API, which is significantly cheaper than current frontier models, effectively pushing down overall token prices. The model incorporates two key innovations: Kimmy Delta Attention, which improves memory management for long discussions, and Attention Residuals, which provide version history across layers. These combined advancements lead to a 2.5x improvement in scaling efficiency, meaning more learning progress for the same computational effort. The speaker highlights that this open-source approach fosters collaborative development, making powerful AI tools freely available globally for education, research, and healthcare.

Transcript excerpt

This is insane. I cannot believe what I'm seeing here. This is a new AI system, Kim K3, that can code up a mostly working copy of a full Mac OS operating system. Also, a cute Animal Crossing style game, other kinds of games, and so much more. And what are you seeing? What I am seeing? Yes, it is very close to the Frontier systems, some of which are kind of getting banned sometimes, but this one won't. Why? Well, here comes the best part. This is an open weights model. Yes, we can download and own the weights for free forever. And nobody can take this from us. That is absolutely incredible. Now, wait, wait, wait. It is big. Caro, do you mean that it's big news? No, I mean it is big. It is absolutely stupendously, humongously big. 2.8 [screaming] trillion parameters. Most of us can't afford to be running this at home. Not as is, but with a little luck, you can try it for free on the web de…
