Community Trust Score Verified 96 % Real Verified 27 votes Updated 43 seconds ago Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly supported Moonshot AI’s decision to remove top-end offensive cyber capabilities from its Kimi K3.1 Pro model. Buterin stated that restricting specific use cases is significantly less harmful than restricting user access, a stance he detailed in a post on X on October 26, 2026. Moonshot AI, a Beijing-based startup, plans to release the open weights for Kimi K3.1 Pro by November 4. This release will allow users to download and run the model on their own hardware.
