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.
