Kimi leader responds to three major controversies: SOTA model should have its own pricing power According to a report by Golden Finance, on July 21st, Huang Zhenxin, the business leader of Kimi Enterprise, responded to market concerns. Huang Zhenxin clearly stated: "Open source models and Chinese large-scale models should not be labeled as low-priced. We have made SOTA level models that can also match reasonable commercial pricing. ”In response to the speculation circulating that "K3 is a distilled small model", Huang Zhenxin clarified that the core of K3's performance leap comes from innovative original architecture at the bottom, rather than a distillation replica of existing models. At the commercialization level, Huang Zhenxin revealed that Kimi currently does not provide privatization deployment services. Its business model is benchmarked against mature top AI companies overseas, and its core focus is on polishing its model foundation capabilities; The API business has the highest proportion in the company's revenue structure, and the proportion of revenue from privatization and industry solution segmentation has not been disclosed to the public yet. At the same time, clarify the trend of industry parameter scale: the parameter scale of large models will continue to expand upwards and will not stop at the current scale of 2.8 trillion yuan. Regarding the debate over open source and closed source routes, Huang Zhenxin believes that the two are not in a competitive relationship. Enterprise customers have differentiated needs: companies with privatization and fine-tuning needs tend to open source, while companies pursuing stable hosting services choose closed source; Open source and closed source have no binding relationship with the quality of model tokens. Kimi has been adhering to the open-source path since K2, and this path will not change in the future; Core underlying technologies and papers are publicly available, maintaining an open attitude towards the industry. Regarding Musk's statement that the Grok 4.5 is expected to surpass the K3, Huang Zhenxin responded, "We'll wait and see When asked about the differences between Kimi's open source model and other major models in China, Huang Zhenxin explained that the global open source industry has standardized licensing agreements such as MIT, and Kimi adopts internationally recognized open source agreements; The outside world mistakenly believes that Kimi cannot be privately deployed, and the root cause is the huge number of parameters and high deployment threshold of K3, which is unrelated to the open source licensing strategy itself.
