Kimi model and migration thread.

A compact, source-linked history of the product states that matter to adoption—not a comprehensive model database.

Prototype scope: only records referenced by published briefing work are included. Dates and statuses should be updated, not silently overwritten.
Timeline

From K2.5
to K3.

The index records availability, migration, and promised future states separately so that “latest model” does not erase operational history.

SCHEDULED

Update policy

A new fact does not silently replace the previous state. If the weight date changes, the license differs from expectations, a model ID is deprecated, or a runtime path appears, the timeline should preserve the old claim and append the new state with a source and observation date.

What this index does not claim

It does not certify benchmark quality, self-hosting feasibility, licensing suitability, or production readiness. Those conclusions require evidence beyond a release timeline.

Weekly pilot

End with the consequence.

One concise English briefing for professionals who need to understand China AI without monitoring Chinese sources full time.
