Moonshot AI’s Yang Zhilin Claims to Have Taken the Initiative to Reduce Business

On the occasion of the first anniversary of Moonshot AI‘s Kimi Chat being open to the whole society, Yang Zhilin, founder and CEO of 31-year-old Moonshot AI, once again stepped into the media spotlight to introduce to the outside world the new generation mathematical reasoning model – k0-math that the company is developing.

When talking about the recent phenomenon of “AI talent returning to big companies,” Yang Zhilin frankly said: “It’s also normal because industry development has entered a new stage. Initially, many companies were doing it, but now fewer companies are.” In his view, reinforcement learning will become one of the most important directions in artificial intelligence, and there will be a new change in paradigm.

Yang Zhilin mentioned in the report: “In fact, we actively chose to do business subtraction, which is very important. It was also a major lesson for us over the past year – you should focus on some important things and do them well. Among several large model start-up companies, we always keep the team size minimal, which I think is crucial. We don’t want to expand the team too much because expanding has a fatal impact on innovation. If you want to maintain the team at a certain scale, actually the best way is to subtract from the business.”

When asked about competition with Doubao under ByteDance, he said, “I don’t want to pay too much attention to competition itself because competition itself does not create value. Only by delivering better technology and products and creating greater value for users is now the most core issue.”

According to previous report, in September of this year, Moonshot AI decided to stop updating two overseas products that had been launched – Ohai and Noisee temporarily shrinking its overseas-to-C applications. There are also reports that several heads of overseas products at Moonshot AI have recently resigned; after more than ten people left Moonshot AI, at least 2 have started their own businesses and begun contacting investors.
