Hello, a lot to unpack today. We will go through the Genius program, talent schemes, AI talent, who’s part of the Yao alum, Moonshot’s new Kimi K2.5, and conclude with the lab financials through Minimax and Z.ai’s IPOs.
Interesting, the Yao Class is such a good idea. There was a dystopian novel by John Hersey my mother made me read, The Child Buyer. Summary: An imaginary, utterly absorbing record of the investigations of the Committee on Education, Welfare, and Public Morality of an unnamed state senate into the activities of Mr. Wissey Jones, who has come to the town of Pequot on what he says is urgent defense business.
It's a question for any country or community, how do you find the best and brightest and direct them to where they have the most leverage.
Thanks for a thought provoking post, I appreciate it.
The talent pipeline is real. Kimi K2.5's benchmarks speak for themselves. What concerns me is the consumer side though. Moonshot's privacy policy for kimi.com explicitly says they use your prompts to train models, and the Singapore-Beijing jurisdictional setup adds another layer of uncertainty. Dug into the actual policy language here: https://generativeai.pub/kimi-k2-5-is-brilliant-but-think-twice-about-using-kimi-com-157cbb26f9a3
