<p>Technically kimi k-3 weights license is not open weight (it has a lot of restrictions). I would classify it as ‘weight open’ similar to the bsl and fsl ’source open’ licenses.</p>

<p>Off topic:With sol pricing drop tbh kimi k3’s value prop has not been that great. For our internal use case/testing/benchmarks sol come out with way better quality and much cheaper costs.
Kimi really needs to drop their pricing (I heard it’s set by them across all the neoclouds)
Sol is at 2/10 vs kimi’s 3/15</p>

<p>Wow, this was really fun to play around with! Amazing execution and launch!<p>Quick feedback: it’d be great if the page updated when the URL changes, so you can explore different positions without reloading.<p>Right now, if I change the URL/hash of the cube position (eg: incrementing by 1 <a href="https://everycube.alen.is/?view=3d#5319001606686939024" rel="nofollow">https://everycube.alen.is/?view=3d#5319001606686939024</a>

<p>I posted a similar comment when the winners were leaked: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48906573">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48906573</a><p>i’d like to revise my earlier comment: 2022 may have been the last time we had pure humans win a Fields Medal.<p>I’m fairly certain this batch's winners used LLMs for research, lit-revews, reviewing work, and calculations... perhaps not enough to count as a co-author, but still enough to handle a lot of the grunt work.<p>Who would have imagined the pace of progress in LLM-powered math..</p>

<p>First of all congrats to the winners.<p>Second, fitting that codex enters the picture.<p>The last time the fields medals were announced llms were still very nascent :)<p>And I am convinced this is the last time pure human fields medalists will be announced.<p>The next batch’s winners are all going to have llms as coauthors.</p>

<p>Shameless plug: We're building this. Our goal is to provide AI pentesting agents that run continuously, because the reality is that companies (eg: those doing SOC 2) typically get a point-in-time pentest once a year while furiously shipping code via Cursor/Claude Code and changing infrastructure daily.<p>I like how Terence Tao framed this [0]: blue teams (builders aka 'vibe-coders') and red teams (attackers) are dual to each other. AI is often better suited for the red team role, critiquing, probing, and surfacing weaknesses, rather than just generating code (In this case, I feel hallucinations are more of a feature than a bug).<p>We have an early version and are looking for companies to try it out. If you'd like to chat, I'm at varun@keygraph.io.<p>[0] <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/114915606467203078" rel="nofollow">https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/114915606467203078</a></p>
