Chinese Kimi K2 Model Beats Both GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet

The AI landscape just shifted dramatically. Chinese startup Moonshot AI has released Kimi K2 Thinking, an open-source model that's outperforming OpenAI's GPT-5 and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 across key benchmarks.

Details:

  • Kimi K2 Thinking hit record-breaking results — 60.2% on BrowseComp (vs GPT-5’s 54.9%), 71.3% on SWE-Bench Verified, and 44.9% on Humanity’s Last Exam. It surpassed MiniMax-M2 to become the top open-source model. The trillion-parameter system can perform 200–300 sequential tool calls with transparent reasoning

  • It's released under a Modified MIT License, enabling complete commercial use. The sole requirement: if your product serves over 100M users or earns $20M+ per month, you must display "Kimi K2" in your interface

  • Its standout feature is explicit reasoning traces with agentic tool use, powering autonomous workflows like automated reporting. Advanced quantization doubles speed without accuracy loss, and the 256k context window supports long reasoning sessions

This release shows AI progress has become truly collaborative—the leading reasoning model isn’t a closed product but open and available to all.

XPeng Cuts Robot's Leg to Prove It's Not Human After Social Media Refuses to Believe

XPeng's latest humanoid robot IRON has sparked massive online debate after appearing so lifelike that viewers refused to believe it was actually a robot, forcing the company to take dramatic measures to prove its authenticity.

Details:

  • When IRON walked the stage with human-like grace, many thought it was fake. CEO He Xiaopeng released footage showing its internal parts, but doubts persisted. Finally, XPeng cut IRON’s leg live on stage to prove it was real

  • The reveal sent XPeng’s shares up nearly 9% to HK$89.4. The 1.7-meter robot runs on solid-state batteries and three Turing chips, with 82 degrees of freedom and lifelike flexible skin. XPeng will use automotive-grade manufacturing and release a global SDK for developers

  • He sees robotics as XPeng’s next big leap—potentially a $20-trillion market. Alongside IRON, XPeng showed vision-language-action models, a 2026 Robotaxi fleet, and its first flying car. Mass production begins in 2026 for commercial use

IRON’s lifelike design marks a turning point in robotics—machines appear so real that proving they’re not human means exposing their inner parts.

AI Tutorial

How to Use NotebookLM to Prepare for Any Job Interview

Tired of spending hours googling company info and guessing what interview questions you’ll face? NotebookLM can handle everything — research, organize, and even coach you through mock interviews automatically.

  1. Create Interview Notebook

    Go to NotebookLM and press Create New. Name it something specific, like “Tesla Product Manager Interview Prep.” Then tap on Discover Sources and enter a prompt such as:

    “I’m preparing for a Product Manager interview at Tesla. Find sources with company details, recent projects, and interview insights.”

  2. Configure Coaching Style

    Press Settings → select Custom Style.

    Set up your preferences:

    • Style/Voice: “Act as a professional interview coach who challenges and motivates.”

    • Goal: “Help me ace the Product Manager interview at Tesla by giving realistic feedback.”

  3. Research Role and Company

    Ask NotebookLM:

    “What are the latest updates about Tesla’s product strategy?”

    Follow up with:

    “What key skills does Tesla value in Product Managers?”

    Tap Save to Note to keep the best summaries for later review.

  4. Generate Practice Questions

    Ask: “Give me 10 behavioral and 10 technical questions for a Product Manager role.”

    Then press Save to Note → three dots → Convert to Source.

    These questions will become part of your training material for mock interviews.

  5. Break Down Model Answers

    For each saved question, ask NotebookLM:

    “Give a structured sample answer using the STAR method.”

    Then review how it breaks down:

    • Situation: What was the context?

    • Task: What needed to be achieved?

    • Action: What steps were taken?

    • Result: What was the measurable outcome?

    Save the best ones and rephrase in your own tone.

  6. Create Personalized Interview Video Guide

    Tap on the pencil icon on Video Overview.

    Change the focus to something like:

    How to handle product sense and behavioral questions for Tesla interviews.”

    Then press Generate to receive a personalized training video script.

    You can even regenerate with a different style (e.g., “Friendly mentor” vs “Tough coach”) to compare tone.

  7. Build Practice Routine

    Use your saved questions and STAR answers to simulate interviews:

    • Read each question aloud, record your response.

    • Compare your delivery with NotebookLM’s feedback or generated answers.

    • Note down improvement areas in your notebook.

    • Repeat twice a week until you feel confident.

  8. Review and Refine

    Before your real interview:

    • Ask: “Summarize my progress and weak areas.”

    Generate a final checklist with:

    • Topics I’ve mastered

    • Areas I should revisit

    • Mock sessions completed

    Print this for your final review.

Note: Record your mock answers and ask NotebookLM to summarize tone, clarity, and confidence levels. This mimics real coaching sessions.

AI Art Spotlight

Create Your Own Photo Like This Using the Prompt Below:

A dynamic 8K photograph, combining hyperrealism with a high-fashion editorial aesthetic, presents a male figure (upload face as reference) against a graffiti-covered brick wall in a gritty yet stylized urban alley. The mood is powerful, artistic, and exudes raw, energetic youthfulness. Dramatic, directional street lighting from above casts strong shadows, emphasizing his strong jawline and the sculptural quality of his sharp assassin-style outfit, creating a modern chiaroscuro effect. Shot on an 85mm f/1.8 lens, a full-body shot positions him slightly off-center in a striking, almost defiant pose, one hand casually in his pocket, radiating an undeniable presence. He embodies minimalist, tactical elegance — wearing a perfectly fitted dark tailored suit with subtle carbon-fiber paneling, a high-neck performance shirt, and sleek, minimalist combat boots. The intricate details of the graffiti, the texture of the brickwork, and the subtle sheen of his suit are rendered with astonishing clarity. The visual style is overwhelmingly photorealistic, almost indistinguishable from a high-quality photograph, with a bold, graphic composition and vibrant yet desaturated urban tones.
