Holy crap. So many people trying to get fat while the hype lasts, at the expense of pretty much everybody else.
And I don't see here mistral or deepseek, so these may be just the American ones…

Kimi K2 is another Deepseek moment it seems, only not everybody is noticing it yet. It will be interesting to see what the stock market will do on monday.
