Chamath argues Kimi K2.5 is a landmark moment for open-source AI — a trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with Agent Swarm technology that democratizes reasoning capabilities previously locked behind closed models, and represents a clear shot across the bow of closed-source AI that could cut AI costs by 90%.

“I think there is the clear shot across the bow of closed source, and I think open source can win. Why? Yes. Because when KIMI 2.5 is accessible, it democratizes something, this trillion-parameter reasoning that right now you could not other”▶ Listen · 1:00:32 ⚑
