Moonshot’s open-source Kimi K2 Thinking just surpassed GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 in key agentic reasoning benchmarks. The model's 60.2% on BrowseComp decisively leads GPT-5’s 54.9%. This trillion-parameter, non-paywalled release fundamentally challenges the proprietary SOTA models. The era of elite performance being exclusive to closed labs is rapidly ending. This breakthrough significantly accelerates the global democratization of cutting-edge AI capability.
