Dark Side of the Moon researcher Flood Sung recently published a lengthy article, revealing for the first time the development ideas behind the k1.5 model and deeply reflecting on the technological insights brought by the OpenAI o1 model. According to Flood Sung, the importance of Long-CoT (Long Chain of Thought) was actually validated over a year ago by Tim Zhou Xinyu, co-founder of the Dark Side of the Moon. By training small models for multi-digit calculations and transforming the fine-grained calculation processes into Long Chain of Thought data for SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning).

The Dark Side of the Moon Company proudly launches its brand new SOTA (state-of-the-art) model—k1.5 Multimodal Thinking Model, marking a significant breakthrough in multimodal reasoning and general reasoning fields. This model not only possesses outstanding multimodal processing capabilities but also demonstrates exceptional general reasoning abilities, effectively addressing various complex tasks. The standout feature of the k1.5 model is its multimodal reasoning capability. It can process information from different modalities including text, images, and sounds simultaneously, providing more comprehensive and accurate results.

The Dark Side of the Moon today announced the release of the new visual thinking model k1. This model is based on reinforcement learning technology, supporting end-to-end image understanding and integrating chain-of-thought techniques, extending its capabilities beyond mathematics to more foundational scientific fields, including physics and chemistry. In benchmark capability tests, the k1 model outperformed leading global benchmark models, such as OpenAI's o1, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

The Kimi AI assistant under The Dark Side of the Moon has launched a new feature - the Visual Thinking Edition. This update enables Kimi to perform detailed observations and in-depth analysis of images sent by users, revealing the secrets behind the pictures. Users can now directly ask Kimi questions, utilizing its visual thinking capability to resolve their doubts.

Recently, Zhu Xiaohu, the managing partner of Jinshi River Venture Capital, has repeatedly posted on social media in response to the Dark Side of the Moon arbitration case, criticizing former managing partner Zhang Yutong. In response, Yang Zhiling, founder and CEO of the Dark Side of the Moon, issued a statement last night via social media, addressing questions regarding his exit from his previous company to start anew and the issue of Zhang Yutong's shares in the Dark Side of the Moon. Yang Zhiling clearly stated that all necessary procedures received the signature approval of each director when he left Cyclical Technology to begin a new venture. He emphasized his clear separation from the previous company and some shareholders.

Recently, at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Yunqi Conference, Kimi founder Yang Zhilin discussed the impact of generative AI technology on AI application product development. He pointed out that the current development of AI technology provides product managers with new exploration opportunities. The key is to find a balance between delay and enhancing user experience, ensuring that the incremental value outweighs the loss in experience. Yang Zhilin believes that generative AI's output of answers requires systematic thinking, which leads to increased delays and may result in a poor experience for users. However, more extended deliberation could indeed...

Moonshot AI, released by The Dark Side of the Moon, is the world's first large model to support an input length of 200,000 characters. Yang Zhilin, the founder of Moonshot AI, studied under top AI experts at CMU and is regarded as one of the candidates to be China's local 'OpenAI'. Moonshot AI has achieved breakthroughs in long text processing by optimizing storage, computing power, and network bandwidth, marking the entry of generative AI into the era of long text. Compared to other models, Moonshot AI avoids the 'Whale Model' and the 'Bee Model'.
