Chinese AI company Moonshot is preparing to release its latest model, Kimi 3, which is expected to be the largest open AI model from China. According to the Financial Times, Kimi 3 will feature between 2 trillion and 3 trillion parameters, marking a significant step forward in China's AI capabilities.

TechCrunch reported that Kimi 3 is anticipated to narrow the gap with Anthropic’s Opus 4.8, a leading AI model known for its advanced performance. This development highlights Moonshot’s ambition to compete on a global scale in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

For Japanese investors and tech markets, Moonshot’s progress underscores the increasing influence of Chinese AI innovation, which could impact regional competition in AI-driven technologies across FX, crypto, and equities sectors.
