Why China Is Giving Away Its Best AI Models for Free

Chinese AI lab Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a model that allegedly outperforms some US-built systems at a fraction of the cost, and is giving away its weights for free. This open-weight strategy threatens the dominance of closed US models and may shift the industry's center of gravity toward Chinese AI.
