Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3.1 Pro open weights as MIT reports weight-space programming gains
Moonshot AI open-sourced its 2.8T-parameter Kimi K3.1 Pro, a post-training overhaul of Kimi K3 that nearly ties Claude Opus 5.5 on agentic coding. Separately, MIT CSAIL reported GPT-6 Astra edited Qwen3.5-0.8B's weights, lifting MATH-500 from 7.9% to 48.1%.
