kimi seems to be a true open-weights frontier model. compared to jailbreaking proprietary models, fine-tuning this to be a malicious coding agent will be trivial since you have the weights. we live in a completely different world, now.

look. i know i keep saying this , i know i keep banging doomer drums, and i know the last six months really haven't looked much observably different to most people. but K3 looks like it's finally hitting a different level. tuned cyber, scam, info correlation/ blackmail gathering, etc versions of this are all very moderate amounts of effort away... and effort that K3 itself will very likely be able to automate even for people with zero ML capability. open source models have been pretty paper thin for a while now, hitting frontier on some benchmarks but realistically falling over when you actually try to throw them at anything real. but this looks real. and if it's real then the time for prevention is over and the time for very very active defense has begun.
