Technology
Chinese AI models like Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 are making waves in Silicon Valley, challenging big names like ChatGPT and Claude.
These open-weight models are not just powerful: they're also customizable, which makes them a hit with smaller tech companies.
But their rise has sparked worries about intellectual property theft and national security, leading to some pretty intense industry debates.
