#224 Max: Kimi K2 Thinking Part 2 – The Open-Source MoE Architecture Beating Big Tech

After Kimi K2's stunning demos in Part 1, we're going under the hood. 🧠 This is the technical deep dive that reveals the MoE architecture powering the world's #2 ranked AI model.

We’ll talk about:

• The MoE architecture: how Kimi K2 achieves 1 Trillion parameter power by activating only 3.2% per query, making it hyper-efficient.
• The independent benchmark analysis that places Kimi K2 Thinking #2 globally—beating Claude 4.5, Grok 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro.
• The massive strategic advantage of its "open weights": how enterprises can run it locally for data sovereignty and cost control.
• The cost comparison: why Kimi K2 offers near-GPT-5 performance at 1/3 the cost of GPT-5 and 1/6 the cost of Claude 4.5.
• Plus, a look at its agentic metrics, superior coding performance, and 256k context window.
