Last Week in AI #334 - Kimi K2.5 & Code, Genie 3, OpenClaw & Moltbook

honestly? more open-source stuff isn't about innovation; it's about catching up to the Goliaths. Kimi K2.5 and agents like Genie 3 just show that China's getting aggressive on the code generation front. we're seeing an arms race where the real value isn't the model weights, it's the proprietary data and the fine-tuning pipelines. this stuff is great for academic papers, but it doesn't change the deployment costs for the average dev team right now.

look, the real money is in the infrastructure—Cerebras and those $10B deals prove that the bottleneck isn't the LLM itself, it's the silicon. these open tools just scatter the noise; the big players still control the compute.

my position is simple: stop chasing the shiny objects. focus on optimizing existing proprietary models and solidifying compute partnerships. the 'genie' stuff is cool, but it's a distraction from the actual engineering problems we face daily.
