Yang Zhilin chose the productivity scenario because it accelerates the improvement of intelligence. Optimizing intelligence in productivity directly enhances product performance, aligning closely with the company's mission and product roadmap. Additionally, the U.S. market's trends showed that companies focusing on productivity achieved better business scale, funding, and talent attraction.
The ultimate goal of Kimi is to become a long-term partner that understands the user deeply, rather than just replicating the user. It aims to be useful by handling increasingly complex tasks and establishing long-term trust and connection with users, ensuring accuracy and reliability in its interactions.
Yang Zhilin views long context as essential for advancing AI capabilities, particularly for handling complex tasks that require extended reasoning and planning. He believes that long context is a necessary condition for AI to progress from simple tasks to more complex, multi-step operations, ultimately enhancing the value delivered to users.
Yang Zhilin predicts a significant reduction in the cost of long context processing, potentially by an order of magnitude or more. Advances in engineering optimizations and architectural improvements, such as context caching, are expected to make long context processing more accessible and affordable, enabling broader application in various scenarios.
Yang Zhilin describes his entrepreneurial journey as akin to climbing a mountain, where each step brings visible improvements in model capabilities and efficiency. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on a single product, Kimi, and refining it to its utmost potential, rather than diversifying into multiple products.
他不会推出Kimi之外的第二款产品,至少在很长一段时间内是这样。
回望创业的这一年,杨植麟非常感慨,他告诉我们「创业的状态就像爬山」,每爬一步,模型的能力肉眼可见的变好,每一分算力产出的智能更高。
世界只需要一个Kimi,「娱乐的需求、生产力的需求,可能都没有明确的边界,它们最终都会在一个产品里,只是大家的路径会有不同。」杨植麟说,「我们希望聚焦做一个产品,然后把这个产品做到极致。」
他在 AGI Playground 2024 大会上跟我们把这些话题展开了聊、揉碎了聊:他对产品的定义,对技术路线的选择,对组织形态的思考,以及Kimi的最终目标。
听了本期播客,你就会知道。
