Buy the Dip? Why China's Kimi Model Is Actually Great News for Nvidia.
China's Moonshot Kimi 3 model caused a sell-off last week, but like the DeepSeek and TurboQuant-inspired panics, Kimi 3 is unlikely to derail Nvidia demand.
Overview
Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and most of the AI-related semiconductor sector sold off last week after Moonshot, a China-based AI start-up, released its Kimi 3 model.
Kimi made waves across the industry, as the open-weights model displayed impressive performance against even the latest frontier models by Anthropic and OpenAI.

But the knee-jerk reactions to Kimi 3 seem like an echo of the DeepSeek and TurboQuant sell-offs of early 2025 and 2026, respectively. In both cases, innovations that made AI much more efficient didn't derail the AI build-out; in fact, one could argue they accelerated it by lowering adoption costs.
