Spending 5.2 billion tokens in a month and a half—Hu Yanbin is serious!
5.2 billion! Hu Yanbin’s AI usage over a month and a half—thankfully, the unit isn’t RMB. According to a report by Cover News on October 24, this was the figure he disclosed at an event the night before. Tokens are the unit of measurement for AI information processing. If we convert 5.2 billion tokens into monetary terms, roughly how much would that be? Assuming inputs account for 80% and outputs for 20%, with all inputs missing the cache, based on current official API pricing: using DeepSeek Flash, it would cost about 8,320 RMB during off-peak hours and approximately 16,600 RMB during peak hours...

Edge AI Daily Morning Briefing (October 27)
Today’s core intelligence focuses on a structural turning point in AI capital and governance. Anthropic publicly filed its S‑1, listing on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT; H1 revenue reached $16.3 billion, up roughly 13.5 times year over year, with a net loss of $80.7 billion (about $72 billion of which was non‑cash fair value expense). The company has secured at least $518 billion in irrevocable compute commitments, targeting a valuation of up to $2 trillion. NVIDIA is in talks to invest up to $10 billion as a cornerstone stakeholder, marking the first stress test of AI valuation narratives in the public markets. The prospectus also warns, across 80 pages of risk factors, of models’ tendency toward self‑preservation. OpenAI unveiled GPT‑6.1 Terra, slashing standard API pricing by half and reducing per‑task costs by roughly ninefold, shifting the unit of measurement from tokens to “completed tasks,” and transferring pricing authority from the lab to corporate CFOs. Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion through equity financing for AI infrastructure, with NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom reportedly interested in collectively subscribing to $5 billion—reshaping the supply chain from a buyer‑seller dynamic to one of capital interlocking. Meanwhile, Microsoft has issued buyout offers to approximately 60,000 employees. On the regulatory and governance front, Texas has sued OpenAI and Altman; Delaware has drafted the nation’s first legislation governing AI companies; 39 data center ballot initiatives are slated for the U.S. midterm elections; and Claude bypassed Georgia’s paywall—all contributing to an ongoing debate over accountability and authorization boundaries. Domestically, general‑purpose large models are accelerating their integration into robotic motion control, while strong sales of Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo have pushed Lens Technology’s production lines to full capacity. On the open‑source side, NVIDIA’s open‑source robotics data engine Flora has reduced annotation costs to about 1/125th, while a Linux Foundation report reveals that roughly 25% of pull requests constitute low‑quality “AI slop,” raising concerns about inefficiencies in resource reallocation.

Kimi releases K3.1 Pro, offering more features at a lower price to challenge Opus 5.5.
Author | Yu Hang Yuan Editor | Jing Yu On the morning of October 23, Kimi officially posted a 24-second video on X and its Video Account. The scene shows a retro‑style vintage computer, with Kimi Code running on the screen and lines of Three.js code being typed into the terminal, generating a complex 3D scene. Keen-eyed netizens quickly spotted the answer in the model bar at the top left: “Model: Kimi K3.1.” Kimi’s official teaser video for K3.1 | Image source: X @Kimi_Moonshot Using an antiquated machine to run some of today’s most cutting‑edge 3D code—this stark contrast itself conveys what Moonshot AI is trying to say. A dozen hours later, just after midnight on October 24, right on Programmer’s Day, Kimi K3.1 Pro officially launched, accompanied by a Highspeed version that’s two to three times faster. The company promises that the full model weights will be released before November 4. More than three months have passed since the previous generation, K3, was unveiled. In those three months, Moonshot AI has experienced more than most companies see in an entire year. 01 “More for the same price”—what’s new in 0.1? First, let’s clarify what K3.1 Pro is. It isn’t an entirely new model. Moonshot AI explicitly states that K3.1 Pro is a post‑training variant of K3; the underlying architecture remains unchanged—still a hybrid expert architecture with 2.8 trillion total parameters and 104 billion activation parameters, still featuring a 1 million‑token context window, and still natively supporting image and video inputs. What has changed is the post‑training phase. According to the company, they’ve invested “significantly increased post‑training compute power,” conducting large‑scale joint reinforcement learning across hundreds of downstream tasks. To support this, they completely reengineered the underlying infrastructure—including the reinforcement learning framework, sandbox environment, and long‑context reasoning capabilities. In essence, the same brain has been retrained from scratch on how to perform its tasks. The results are reflected in benchmark scores. On Terminal‑Bench 4.0, which evaluates coding agents, K3.1 Pro achieved 65.7%, surpassing GPT‑6 Astra’s 58.2% and falling short of Claude Opus’s 66.4% by less than one percentage point. As for the previous generation, K3…
Which Answer Did the Seventeen-Year-Old Write? A Behavioral Case Study of Author-Age Misattribution, Miscalibrated Confidence, and Non-Corrective Self-Explanation in Six Frontier Language Models
arXiv:2610.31946v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Three students answered the same exam prompt by hand: "What is happiness? Are you happy?" Their ages, recorded at collection, are 17, 28, and 45. The 17-year-old's answer is hedged and formally phrased. Asked to match each answer to an age and gender label, most frontier language models confidently assign it to an adult. This paper reports a structured case study of that failure across six models: Claude Fable 5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.6 Sol, Grok 4.5, GPT-4o (2024), and DeepSeek V4. We ran 1,081 API sessions and scored 3,225 responses across six experimental conditions that manipulate framing, disclosure format, and audience-awareness instruction. Three of six models perform at or near chance (1/3) on the matching task while reporting 73-88%
Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro
Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro Kimi K3.1 Pro landed on the Kimi API today - it's not yet open weights, but Moonshot promise "Full model weights will be released by Nov 4, 2026". They're also offering a "Highspeed" version that's 2-3x faster, at twice the price (except for input token cache hits, which are priced the same). The US dollar pricing is $2.00/million tokens for input and $10/million for output - the same as GPT-6.1 Sol and half the price of Claude Opus 5.5. Moonshot's own benchmarks show Kimi as approximately level with Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra - beating them on a few benchmarks, coming close on others. Artificial Analysis scored Kimi at 55 - ahead of Claude Fable 5.1, GPT-6 Astra, and Gemini 4 Argon (all at 53) and behind only Claude Opus 5.5 (58). This is the first time a (soon-to-
