America needs to stop getting shocked by Chinese AI

Chinese AI companies recently unveiled new models, with Beijing-based Moonshot AI claiming its flagship model outperforms most US models, trailing only OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol and Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5. Moonshot AI is aggressively pricing its Kimi K3 at $15 per million output tokens, significantly lower than competitors. The launch led to overwhelming demand, causing Moonshot to temporarily pause new subscriptions, highlighting the rapid advancements and competitive landscape in the global AI sector.
