Chinese unicorn Moonshot AI updates Kimi chatbot to offer capabilities akin to OpenAI o1

Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) firm Moonshot AI on Friday rolled out the updated version of its conversational chatbot, Kimi Chat, that has improved problem-solving capabilities, akin to the advances shown by the new OpenAI o1 large language model (LLM).

Kimi Chat Explore is touted by Moonshot AI as being able to “think and reflect” in response to user queries and also has an expanded online search capacity, the Beijing-based start-up said in a statement.

The company claims its updated chatbot can now plan and carry out multi-step tasks, recognise mistakes and come up with solutions. Those capabilities are similar to what OpenAI’s o1 LLM provides. LLMs are the technology underpinning generative AI applications like ChatGPT.

Previewed last month, OpenAI o1 represents a so-called generative pre-trained transformer model, designed “to reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding and maths”, according to the San Francisco-based company.

Kimi Chat Explore is now capable of searching and analysing more than 500 online pages per query before providing a response. That is 10 times more than the existing 50-page limit of the older Kimi Chat application.
