Artificial intelligence is undergoing another stage of evolution — and this time, the changes may be even more significant than during the emergence of GPT models or the mass adoption of chatbots. The Chinese company Kimi has introduced the Kimi K2 model, which, according to the developers, not only approaches the performance of the most powerful systems on the market but also offers a much lower cost of use. In some tests, K2 outperforms GPT-5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5, while demonstrating efficiency in complex multilingual tasks, agent-based programming, and processing large volumes of information. The most interesting part is that this model may be several times cheaper than its counterparts — and therefore has the potential to influence the entire market’s economy.
