The doctoral supervisor responds that the U.S. cannot retain Yang Zhilin.

On August 1, Russ Salakhutdinov, the founder of the Dark Side of the Moon, revealed in an interview that Yang Zhilin's doctoral thesis has been cited 20,000 times. Given his level of research, he could have easily pursued postdoctoral studies at a top institution and then become a university professor, but he preferred to start his own company and even declined an offer from Apple, resolutely choosing to return to China to start a business. "He once told me that if he didn't try entrepreneurship, he would definitely regret it." However, regarding the capabilities of Kimi K3, Russ Salakhutdinov believes that the industry still needs more applications to assess its real differences compared to other models. Nevertheless, Kimi's open-source approach is commendable; "I hope the industry does not completely move towards being closed-source in the future."
