## Resource

Moonshot AI just gave away the largest open-weight model ever built, and the chip stocks still bled. Host Emily Laird breaks down Kimi K3: 2.8 trillion parameters, free to download, and completely impossible for you to actually run. The catch isn't the price of the model. It's who owns the machines that serve it. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
