Listen "The Open Source AI Model Beating GPT-5 on Agents"
Episode Synopsis
Today on the AI Daily Brief, NLW explores the rise of Kimi K2 Thinking, a new open-source model from China that’s outperforming GPT-5 and Claude 4.5 Sonnet on agentic benchmarks—and doing it at a fraction of the cost. We’ll look at how this shift is changing the balance of power between closed and open models, why Silicon Valley startups are already adopting Chinese systems, and what it means for the next phase of the AI race. Plus: Meta’s new speech model, DeepSeek’s dire job-market warning, and CoreWeave’s data-center delays.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.
