Alibaba-Backed Moonshot AI Unveils Kimi Chatbot’s Breakthrough
Now, developers, writers, content creators, programmers can go wild with their prompts when using Kimi Chatbot.
Moonshot AI has just introduced Kimi Chatbot, the Chinese version of ChatGPT that can now process up to 2 million Chinese characters in a single prompt, a major upgrade from the 200,000 Chinese characters it could handle in the past.
The chatbot was built on Moonshot AI’s self-developed Kimi large language model (LLM) and can now analyze a complete code repository and perform multi-step tasks to multimodal models.
Kimi Chatbot is now the only chatbot capable of this feat after eclipsing Baichuan2-192k LLM, which was said to handle around 350,000 Chinese characters in a context window. The founder of Moonshot AI, Yang Zhilin, believes that the ability of AI bots to process long prompts is critical to the future development of AI models.
Now, developers, writers, content creators, programmers, and even those in other industries can go wild with their prompts when using Kimi Chatbot, and it will deliver accordingly. However, this will only happen when it comes out of beta testing and becomes available to everyone.
This scientific breakthrough comes after e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding and venture capital firm HongShan led a new funding round worth $1 billion for Moonshot AI and valued the tech unicorn at $2.5 billion last month, according to data from Traxcn.
