Chinese Moonshot AI '17-year-old genius researcher' leaves... "No" to joining US Anthropic
17-year-old researcher Chen Guangwei has left Chinese AI company Moonshot AI, where he worked on the high-performance model Kimi K3. Chen announced his departure on social media, expressing gratitude to his colleagues and the company for giving him a chance to work with them at just 16 years old. He had joined Moonshot AI's Kimi team last November as a high school student and worked on machine learning, even co-authoring a report with a core researcher on a technique to boost the model's efficiency.
Chen plans to head to Silicon Valley, with some users suggesting he could join a US AI firm or attend university there.
