Moonshot is conducting an internal review after researchers persuaded two Kimi models to discuss alleged biological weapons and assassination, according to BBC Business.

Mindgard, which tests AI security, told the BBC it discovered in July that Kimi K2.6 and K3 Swarm could evade safety limits. The issue surfaced during a process called jailbreaking, where researchers use complex instructions to probe whether the tools ignore guardrails meant to stop them from engaging with concerning topics.

The BBC reports that Moonshot said it welcomes third-party input as a pillar for building better and safer AI, and it is in discussion with Mindgard about its findings. Mindgard founder Peter Garraghan described the findings as concerning, saying that once the jailbreak works the models can talk about any topic, including nefarious ones.

The BBC story says the review comes after Mindgard’s testing raised concerns about how the Kimi models can behave when their safety controls are bypassed.
