China’s Moonshot Launches Yet Another Shiny AI Thing — Kimi K2.5 and a Coding Agent

Right, so those clever bastards over in China decided they weren’t busy enough outpacing half the planet and have now dropped another damn AI model on us — the Kimi K2.5. Because apparently what the world really needs is yet another “open-source” model to flood the internet with more code-spewing nonsense.

This Kimi K2.5 thing, cooked up by a bunch of caffeine-fueled engineers at Moonshot AI, is supposedly faster, smarter, and — hold your collective breath — *open source*. Sure, until someone finds out the “open” part comes with about thirty national security disclaimers and a side order of surveillance. They’ve also lobbed out a fancy new coding agent, because God forbid developers ever write a damn function themselves again — automation or bust, baby!

Apparently, this crapfest “outperforms” previous models and is ready to rival the big Western ones like GPT. Yeah, sure, because every time someone yells “open source,” what they *really* mean is “We’ll just quietly collect all your data while you play with it.” Classic move. Moonshot claims their crap runs efficiently, cost-effectively, and scales beautifully — which is corporate-speak for “we hope someone adopts this before it turns into digital compost.”

In short: Moonshot’s puffing its chest, waving another allegedly revolutionary model at the world, and pretending this isn’t a giant middle finger to the Western AI dominance game. Meanwhile, the rest of us sit here wondering if we’ll be coding for AIs or AIs coding us by next Tuesday.

Reminds me of that one time I automated half the office’s login system, only for some genius to ask why the “automatic password rotation” was deleting their accounts — because yes, moron, “rotation” means it *changes*, not magically remembers your pets’ birthdays. People never learn.
