|
> WAIC is absolutely OUT of control in Shanghai! The streets and public transportation are flooded!
|
|
> Kimi completely MOGGED everyone at the conference! 👀

Media: 3 videos showing crowded streets, packed public transport, WAIC conference scenes in Shanghai.

## Quoted Post (@arena)
|
|
- Kimi-K3 (Moonshot AI) took #1 in Frontend Code Arena with 1,679 pts
|
|
- Jumped from #18 to #1
|
|
- Outperformed Claude Fable 5 in most categories: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, etc.
|
|
- Full model weights scheduled for release on July 27, 2026
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
- WAIC (World Artificial Intelligence Conference) Shanghai — massive real-world attendance
|
|
- Second major Chinese open-source signal this week alongside Qwen 3.8 (2.4T)
|
|
- Kimi-K3 is 2.8T parameters, open-weight (weights coming July 27)
|
|
- Western media coverage minimal despite scale of announcement
|
|
|
|
## Hector's Assessment
|
|
Frontend Code Arena is a specific benchmark — not general reasoning. But #18 → #1 with a 2.8T open-weight model beating Claude Fable 5 in multiple categories is a strong signal. The WAIC crowd scenes underscore that China's AI ecosystem has real grassroots energy, not just top-down state investment. |
