China's large-model sector saw a flurry of activity this week: **Moonshot AI** released **Kimi K3.1 Pro**, which supports a **1 million token** context, and plans to open the model weights [1][13]; meanwhile, **DeepSeek** was reported to be raising about **$15 billion** [1]. On the efficiency side, **Jev-Mem from the University of Texas** speeds up long-conversation memory construction by **6.6x**, and **TokenGate from Stanford and UC Berkeley** improves long-context prefill by up to **11.3x** [6][16], showing that "cutting costs and improving efficiency" remains the main line of current technological competition.
## 🚀 Key Developments
- **Kimi K3.1 Pro released with million-level context support** [1]: Moonshot AI launched K3.1 Pro and a Highspeed version, scoring 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, with weights planned to be opened before November 4.
- **DeepSeek reportedly raising about $15 billion** [1]: The funding scale of Chinese large-model companies has reached a new high, and capital competition in the industry continues to heat up.
- **Grok Bot can make calls on users' behalf and send summaries** [2][5]: Musk announced that Grok Bot 0.77 supports real-time call transcription, dialing and waiting for transfer, and can connect to payment accounts.
- **Anthropic open-sources vulnerability scanner OSS Scanner** [22]: In 11 days online, it reported 77 critical and 803 high-severity findings, with 88% of reviewed samples meeting disclosure standards.
- **Jev-Mem speeds up AI memory construction by 6.6x** [6]: Small models score in batches instead of LLMs making step-by-step decisions, scoring 0.777 on the LoCoMo benchmark, surpassing the best baseline.
- **TokenGate speeds up long-context prefill by 11.3x** [16]: A learnable token pruning module accelerates TTFT by 1.4x–11.3x with no loss in accuracy.
- **Google AI Studio to launch hosted agents** [8]: The Agents hub supports inspecting and managing the tools, environments, and triggers of autonomous agents.
- **KRAFTON open-sources Raon-1 mini preview** [9]: A 30B-A4B mixture-of-experts architecture under the Apache 2.0 license, focused on Korean while also covering English.
- **New Claude desktop app interface to roll out in three weeks** [4]: Designed with Claude's assistance, but some users report low information density and a dull visual style.
- **r/opensource community bans AI-related projects** [10]: The new rule has sparked discontent and led to the creation of a competitor subreddit, r/trueopensource.
