If there is a single thread connecting this week's barrage of AI releases, it is the decisive shift from passive generation to active simulation and agency. The era of the 'chatbot' that simply retrieves information is rapidly fading. In its place, we are seeing the rise of models that can reason through complex problems, coordinate swarms of agents, generate playable worlds, and fundamentally restructure scientific workflows. Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.5: The Agent Swarm Arrives China's Moonshot AI has arguably delivered the week's most significant technical leap with Kimi K2.5. While the version number might suggest a standard iterative update, the architecture tells a different story. K2.5 is built as a native multimodal model, but its standout feature is the 'self-directed agent swarm' paradigm. Unlike previous models that handle tasks linearly, K2.5 can reportedly orchestrate up to 100 sub-agents to execute parallel workflows, managing up to 1,500 tool calls in a single session....
