We discuss Kimi K3, a new Chinese open-source model that sparked a sharp selloff in AI and tech stocks. The real question: does it signals a real shift in the AI race between the U.S. and China? And who will the biggest winners be: model labs or the compute and infrastructure providers? ------ 🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️ EMAIL US: [email protected] NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oV29YUL8AzzwXkxEXlRMQ APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/limitless-podcast/id1813210890 RSS FEED: https://limitlessft.substack.com/ ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Kimi K3 Shakes Markets 0:49 Open Source Disruption 2:54 China’s AI Message 5:22 Demand Outstrips GPUs 8:59 Open Source Backlash 13:58 The Bubble Debate 17:38 Infrastructure Wins Long Term 22:36 Breakthroughs Still Loom 24:48 Outro and Updates ------ RESOURCES Josh: https://x.com/JoshKale Ejaaz: https://x.com/cryptopunk7213 ------ Not financial or tax advice.
