China’s Kimi K3 ‘significantly below’ US rivals in hacking power, study shows

Joint British-US government research indicates that China's Kimi K3 large language model, developed by Moonshot AI, is significantly less capable of launching cyberattacks compared to leading American rivals. A report published on Thursday by the UK Artificial Intelligence Security Institute and the US Centre for AI Standards and Innovation found that Kimi K3 performs "significantly below the most recent frontier cyber-capable models." This finding challenges concerns in Washington regarding the rapid advancement of Chinese open-source artificial intelligence. The research was conducted by government bodies in the UK and the US, with the AISI operating under the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the CAISI within the US Department of Commerce.
