Moonshot tells Kimi AI to code away, but leave the hacking alone

Moonshot is clipping Kimi AI’s hacking wings before letting it loose

Moonshot AI

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI is deliberately limiting the hacking capabilities of its latest artificial intelligence model, highlighting a growing dilemma for the industry: how do companies make AI more powerful without making cyberattacks easier to carry out?

The company introduced Kimi K3.1 Pro on October 24, describing it as a highly capable, open-weight model with around 3 trillion parameters. Unlike conventional AI services that operate entirely through a provider's servers, open-weight models allow developers to download the underlying model files, run them on their own systems, and modify how they work.
