Kimi Gains Ground, With Open Weights Still Planned
· New York time
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro scores 55 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, an 11-point improvement over its predecessor that places it fourth. Three models from Anthropic and Meta rank higher, The Decoder reports. If Moonshot releases the weights as planned, the measured gap between open and proprietary models would narrow to three points. The release remains conditional, and the index is a particular benchmark rather than a universal ranking for every developer's task. The result nevertheless puts a Chinese challenger closer to leading US systems on that measure. The leaderboard has become a remarkably efficient suspense machine: every new bar chart gives developers another reason to postpone settling on a bar chart. The trophy is temporary, and the next evaluation is already warming up.
