Moonshot AI unveils Kimi model with free access

China’s Moonshot AI has unveiled a newly released Kimi artificial intelligence model that is available freely, according to NYT Business.

The release is framed as a potential challenge to the United States, as the model reportedly narrows the gap with cutting edge offerings from U.S. technology companies.

NYT Business characterizes the move as part of a broader effort by China to close the gap in advanced AI capabilities.
