Deconstructing the Kimi K3 Technical Report: Moonshot AI Starts Setting Problems for DeepSeek as Two Scaling Axes Redefine the Frontier

The 47-page technical report on Kimi K3 reveals that Moonshot AI is encountering problems rather than following solutions. The report outlines two axes for AI scaling: pre-deployment compute and post-deployment compute. While open-source models excel in post-deployment compute, they stagnate in pre-deployment compute, with most models capped at 1TB.
