At the 2026 World Economic Forum (Davos Forum) annual meeting, leading Chinese large model company Kimi once again became a global focus. According to AIbase, Kimi's president Zhang Yuting shared the "Chinese experience" of how Kimi achieved technological breakthroughs under limited resources at the meeting.

Zhang Yuting clearly stated in her speech that the development process of Kimi did not rely on unlimited computing power, but instead successfully created globally leading open-source large models such as Kimi K2 and Kimi K2 Thinking by using only 1% of the resources of top American laboratories. In some key performance indicators, these models even surpassed top closed-source models in the United States.

"From the day we started our business, we clearly realized that Chinese startups couldn't afford to simply pile up computing power."

Facing the computing power bottleneck, Zhang Yuting said this actually forced the team to take a path of "quality over quantity." Kimi achieved extreme efficiency through extensive basic research innovation. This strategy is not only a challenge to the depth of technology, but also a test of the survival wisdom of start-ups.

In terms of specific implementation, Kimi invested a lot of effort to deeply integrate engineering thinking into the research phase. Through this approach, the team ensured that all algorithm innovations were not just limited to papers, but could be widely and stably implemented in their production systems.

Regarding the product progress most concerned by the outside world, AIbase learned that Zhang Yuting has already revealed at the meeting that Kimi's latest large model product will be officially launched soon. In the current context of intense global AI competition, Kimi's statement undoubtedly signals the beginning of a new round of technological iteration.

Key Points:

  • 🚀 High Resource Utilization: Kimi achieved partial superiority in open-source model performance by consuming only 1% of the resources of its U.S. counterparts.

  • 💡 Efficiency-Driven Innovation: Under the constraints of computing power, the company achieved technological breakthroughs through in-depth basic research and engineering innovation.

  • 📅 New Product Launch Imminent: President Zhang Yuting confirmed that the latest model product from Kimi is ready and will be unveiled soon.
