July 18th.Dark Side of the MoonZHOU JINWOO, THE CO-FOUNDER AND HEAD OF THE ALGORITHM TEAM, WROTE IN A LETTER TO X, SAYING:Kimi Not currently developedVideo Generation ModelPlan. At this stage, the team concentrates its resources on upgrading the smart ceiling of the model rather than following the competitive pace of video-generated products。
Zhou Jin-woo believes that video production, while of clear use, is not very helpful in terms of theoretical and practical effects to enhance model intelligence. He separates capacity enhancement from functional expansion: video generation can add an output form, but it is not the main path in the team ' s current judgement that drives reasoning and mission capacity to continue to rise。
The openness of Kimi K3 also continues this choice, focusing on software engineering, knowledge work, in-depth reasoning and image understanding. Multi-modular routes are now more inclined to allow models to understand images and use them for reasoning rather than directly generating video content。
