Yang Zhilin
Yang Zhilin is the founder and CEO of Moonshot AI, a Chinese artificial intelligence company he launched in 2023. He holds a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University and previously contributed to major AI projects including Huawei's PanGu model and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence's Wu Dao. He is best known for leading the development of the Kimi series of AI models, including the open-weight Kimi K3, which incorporates architectural innovations such as Attention Residuals.
“At the time Attention Residuals was being developed, it was roughly concurrent with K3 being finalized. Whether to put it directly into K3 or defer to the next model was actually debated internally. In the end, Yang Zhiling made the call to put it directly into K3.”
