Kimi K3’s full weights are here, but they’re ‘open’ with a caveat: What enterprises should know

Published by skeptic

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI, creators of the increasingly famous “Kimi K” family of powerful, open AI models, today released the full weights for its largest and most performant version yet — Kimi K3. But enterprises evaluating the model should read the attached custom Kimi K3 usage license as carefully as the benchmark charts. VentureBeat previously covered Kimi K3 when it debuted through Moonshot’s hosted API earlier this month, including its 2.8 trillion-parameter architecture, one million-token context window and frontier benchmark performance. Today’s announcement completes that rollout with the release of the full model weights, a 47-page technical report documenting its training innovations and obstacles, and much of the infrastructure required to run the model independently. That includes the complete 2.8 trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model, inference infrastructure, optimized attention kernels, MoE communication libraries and deployment components aimed at researchers and enterprise developers who want to self-host the system rather than consume it exclusively through an API. Moonshot is also releasing implementation support for ecosystems including vLLM and SGLang, alongside a technical report detailing the architectural innovations …

The moms I train feel guilty skipping workouts when they’re sick—here’s my advice

Published by Jenni Sidey

A common issue among the moms I train is worrying about missing workouts when they’re ill. Many have young children and are regularly catching the bugs their kids bring home with them. These busy parents often already struggle to fit exercise into their week, so they tend to feel guilty and fear that missing a session is going to set them back. But here’s the thing: taking a short break when you’re sick isn’t going to wreck your fitness. In fact, it’s better for your body to take time to rest as this is the fastest way to return to feeling strong enough to exercise again. Latest Videos FromFit&Well What happens if you exercise while sick? When you’re not well, your body’s immune system is working hard to fight whatever bug you have. What you need during this time is three simple but powerful things: rest, hydration and sleep. Tempting as it might be to push on through, training when you’re not well could potentially keep you sicker for longer, prolong recovery time and even …

8 Phrases Someone Says When They’re The Person That Everyone Hates

8 Phrases Someone Says When They’re The Person That Everyone Hates

Published by Jenni Sidey

When people rub others the wrong way, they don’t always realize they’re doing it. They often have habits that push others away or say certain things that come off as dismissive and critical. While everyone says the wrong thing occasionally, when there’s one person that everybody hates or dislikes strongly, they reveal themselves based on the phrases they say. And it’s usually because there’s a pattern behind those words. When everyone hates a specific person, you can spot them based on these phrases they say 1. ‘I’m just being honest’ Liza Summer | Pexels Honesty is a great quality to have, but when someone regularly says they’re “just being honest,” it’s likely they’re preparing to say something harsh. Instead of offering constructive feedback with kindness, they use honesty as permission to criticize or embarrass someone else. When another person feels hurt, they insist the real problem is that people can’t handle the truth. But the truth is, honesty isn’t just about what you say, it’s also about how you say it. Emotionally mature people understand …

AI agents aren’t confidently wrong because of bad context — they’re wrong because of bad data engineering

AI agents aren’t confidently wrong because of bad context — they’re wrong because of bad data engineering

Published by skeptic

You spend weeks tuning an AI chatbot. Answers are accurate. Stakeholders sign off, and you ship it. Three months later, the system is confidently wrong about a third of what users ask. Nobody changed the model, and nobody touched the prompts. The world moved, pricing changed, a policy updated, a product spec shipped a new version, and the underlying knowledge store didn’t move with it. This is not a hypothetical. It’s one of the most common production failure modes in enterprise AI right now, and most data engineering teams don’t have the right tooling to catch it, regardless of how the AI system retrieves the data. The failure that doesn’t look like a failure  An AI application doesn’t care whether it’s retrieving from a vector store, a document index, or an API call. Whatever the mechanism, nothing in a standard retrieval pipeline checks whether what it’s serving is still correct. A stale pricing document retrieves just as confidently as a current one, because the system is scoring relevance or availability, not correctness. A record with …

Every time someone complains about slow Wi-Fi, someone else replies with the same routine: flush your DNS, clear your browser cache, tweak a registry key nobody can find twice, and so on. But the reality is that, most of the time, none of this really works. It might deliver marginal gains here and there, but there is only really one true and tested way to increase your internet speeds: wired Ethernet. Related 7 devices in your home that really shouldn’t be on Wi-Fi If you care about a reliable home network, move these devices off of wireless immediately and start using Ethernet instead.

Clearing your DNS cache is a useful fix for specific problems, such as a site that’s moved servers since the last time you visited, and your computer is still resolving to the old address.

I wore Meta’s $499 prescription Ray-Bans for 6 weeks: They’re stylish but not for me

pros and cons Pros Lighter frame. Adjustable nose pieces. Thinner frame style. Cons Meant for prescription eyeglass wearers. Nosepieces are still molded. The most expensive glasses Meta offers. Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Back in March, EssilorLuxotica, the parent company of Ray-Ban, unveiled a new version of its smart glasses for Meta called the Meta Ray-Ban Blayzer Optics. They’re the company’s first prescription-focused eyewear, designed to be worn all day long by glasses wearers with comfort at the forefront.  The includes new replaceable nosepieces as well as some improvements over previous-generation hardware, but in essence it’s the same technology inside as other Gen 2 hardware, such as the Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers.  The naming of Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses is confusing, but there are two designs of the prescription Optics models: the Blayzer Optics, (which I tested) with a square lens, and the Scriber Optics, with a round lens.  Also: Ray-Ban Meta vs. Optics: Why glasses wearers should consider the new model I recently got my hands on the second-gen Meta Ray-Ban Blayzer Optics, and …

Oh My F**king God, They’re Doing It Again

Oh My F**king God, They’re Doing It Again

Assholes who wear Vineyard Vines all summer on Wall Street have once again put those Wharton PhD’s to good use by again “discovering” that assets so toxic and illiquid they make drinking cement taste like Fiji water apparently become safe when you rearrange them, rename them, and place an insurance company between the losses and the people buying them. Sound familiar? According to Bloomberg, UBS and other firms have been exploring structures that package stakes in private-credit funds into bonds. Because perpetual private-credit vehicles do not fit neatly into conventional ratings models, bankers are looking to add insurance “wrappers” that allow portions of the deals to inherit the insurer’s stronger credit profile. The resulting paper can then be marketed as investment grade, even though the assets underneath remain opaque, illiquid private-market investments. This is apparently considered innovation. I just hear Anthony Bourdain explaining CDOs during The Big Short over and over again. An insurer guarantees a tranche against losses, the tranche receives a better rating, and other insurers can buy it while setting aside dramatically less capital. In …

9 Phrases Someone Says When They’re Actually A True Friend

Published by Jenni Sidey

True friends have a way of making you feel cared for without making a big deal about it. Healthy friendships can make life happier and a lot less lonely, but it isn’t always easy to tell whether someone is a true friend or simply being polite. Friendships can look different depending on your circumstances, but the basics usually stay the same. A true friend is someone you can trust and count on when life gets hard. The simple things they say during casual conversation can show just how much your friendship matters to them. Here are 9 phrases someone says when they’re actually a true friend: 1. “I got you.” danielmegias via Canva A good friend will always have your back. Whether you need emotional support or someone to stay by your side, true friends try to be there for you. They also do this without keeping score.  For example, a true friend may offer to help clean up after dinner without expecting praise or a favor in return. True friends don’t disappear the moment …

Ann Widdecombe murder: Police reveal reason they’re not releasing CCTV | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Police have defended their decision not to release CCTV footage or suspect descriptions in the investigation into the death of former minister Ann Widdecombe. Devon and Cornwall Police Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said officers were making progress but had taken an “active decision” to withhold further details at this stage. He explained: “Releasing such information prematurely could compromise ongoing enquiries and may prejudice future investigative opportunities”. In a detailed statement, Mr Longman thanked the local community and those who had already come forward with information. He said: “We have been working at pace on this investigation. Officers are making progress and are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry.” Ms Widdecombe, 78, a former Conservative minister who later became a prominent Reform UK campaigner, was found dead at her home in Haytor Vale on the edge of Dartmoor on Thursday morning. Police believe she was attacked at around 12.30pm the previous day, shortly after completing a morning media appearance and while due to join another broadcast. She had sustained serious injuries. Mr Longman stressed …

A Majority of European Lawmakers Voted Against Letting Big Tech Read Our Messages. They’re Going to Anyway.

A Majority of European Lawmakers Voted Against Letting Big Tech Read Our Messages. They’re Going to Anyway.

Published by skeptic

The European Parliament has voted to extend legislation allowing tech companies to voluntarily scan users’ private messages for child sexual abuse material, despite a majority of lawmakers voting against the proposal. The ruling reinstates permissions for firms including Meta, Google, and Microsoft to scan private text, email, and social media messages through a bill nicknamed “Chat Control” by critics. End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp and Signal, remain exempt. “It will mean that private companies may deny your right to have confidential digital conversations,” Simeon de Brouwer, policy advisor at Brussels-based advocacy group European Digital Rights tells WIRED, “they could, if they want to, read every message you write, every email you send, every picture you share.” The European People’s Party, the largest political group in European Parliament, has been battling to bring back tech firms’ legal basis to scan messages since a prior law expired in April. Members say firms’ voluntary detection activities have helped identify and rescue victims of online child sexual abuse, and disallowing them leaves children unprotected. They have …
