Chinese AI Kimi K3 has just shattered American records, proving that Beijing is overtaking Washington. David Sacks, a divisive tech figure, is sounding the alarm… What if the United States lost the AI war because of its own bureaucracy?
In brief
- Kimi K3, a Chinese AI model, exceeds the American giants (Claude, GPT) in performance and cost.
- David Sacks warns of the risk of losing the AI race, but his mixed record in crypto raises questions.
- Global issue: Open-weight vs regulations, who will win?
Kimi K3, the Chinese model that humiliates the United States and restarts the AI race
For the first time, a Chinese model, Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI, surpassed the American giants (Claude Fable 5, GPT-5.6) on the Frontend Code Arena, a key benchmark for generative AI. With 1,679 points, it proves that China is closing the technology gap at lightning speed. Worse for the United States, Kimi K3 is 40% cheaper than its competitors, while offering unparalleled flexibility thanks to its open-weight approach.
Is the United States, mired in stifling regulations, sabotaging its own advance? David Sacks, Trump advisor, hammers it home… This is how we lose the AI race. While Washington procrastinates, Beijing is accelerating with accessible, efficient and affordable models. A winning cocktail to attract businesses around the world.
Does David Sacks, crypto guru with a mixed record, still inspire confidence?
David Sacks is no stranger to Silicon Valley. Former COO of PayPal, early investor in Facebook, Uber and SpaceX, he has also been a fervent defender of cryptos, with bold and sometimes controversial positions. In 2021, he criticized bitcoin for its lack of utility, before making an about-face in 2023 by supporting stablecoins and Web3 projects.
Today, as Trump’s advisor on AI, his warnings carry weight. However, its lack of coherence (pro-crypto then skeptical, pro-Trump then critical of regulatory excesses) raises questions. Should we listen to this brilliant but unpredictable strategist? His detractors accuse him of window-dressing opportunism, while his supporters salute his visionary flair. One thing is sure, its alarm on the AI deserves to be heard, even if its past calls for caution.
China is overtaking the United States in AI, and Sacks is right about one thing: America is playing against itself. But his divisive past raises questions. And you, would you trust a crypto guru to predict the future of artificial intelligence?
