Look at those people shouting this will be AGI / total disruption etc. Seems Elon managed one thing; to amass the dumbest folks together. 99.99% maga, crypto and almost markov chain quality comments.

Your contrary certainty has the same humorously over-confident tone.

Well i asked chatGPT IF i could run kimik2 on a 5800x 3d with 64 gigs of ram with a 3090 and it said:

Yes, you absolutely can run Kimi-K2-Instruct on a PC with:

:white_check_mark: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D :white_check_mark: GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24 GB VRAM) :white_check_mark: RAM: 64 GB system memory This is more than sufficient for both:

Loading and running the full Kimi-K2-Instruct model in FP16 or INT8, and Quantizing it with weight-only INT8 using Hugging Face Optimum + bitsandbytes.

Kimi k2 has a trillion parameters and even an 8 bit quant would need half a gig of system ram +vram

This is with the free chatGPT that us peasants use. I dont have the means to run grok4 heavy, deep seek or kimi k2 to ask them.

I cant wait to see what accidental wars will start when we put ai in the kill chain

Which is how and why these political strategies work so well.

99% of AI influencers are the same people who emailed you pictures as a Word attachment a year ago.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe this won't be. How long do you think a machine will be able to outdo any human in any given domain? I personally think it will be after they are able to rewrite their own code. You?

They write their own code now so how long will it be?

They "can" write parts of it. But they can't rewire the weights. They are learned not coded.

In related news, OpenAI and Google have announced that their latest non-public models have received Gold in the International Mathematics Olympiad: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44614872 That said, the public models don't even get bronze. [EDIT] Dupe of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44614872

Wow. That's an impressive result, though we definitely need some more details on how it was achieved.

What techniques were used? He references scaling up test-time compute, so I have to assume they threw a boatload of money at this. I've heard talk of running models in parallel and comparing results - if OpenAI ran this 10000 times in parallel and cherry-picked the best one, this is a lot less exciting.

If this is legit, then I really want to know what tools were used and how the model used them.

> I personally think it will be after they are able to rewrite their own code. My threshold is when it can create a new Google

Why not putting it earlier than that. Why not starting and running it's own LLC. I would think when that LLC is bigger than Google it might already be obvious.

Maybe you should use a reasoning model. Got this from O3, which took 1m31s to think about the answer: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_687b9221fb748191af4e30f597f18443

Bottom line: Your 5800X3D + 64 GB RAM + RTX 3090 will run Kimi K2’s 1.8‑bit build, but response times feel more like a leisurely typewriter than a snappy chatbot. If you want comfortable day‑to‑day use, plan either a RAM upgrade or a second (or bigger) GPU—or just hit the Moonshot API and save some waiting.

Indeed.
