Memory is the new oil: 50% of AI spend, Kimi Linear cuts 75% context memory via linear attention

Memory bandwidth/capacity (HBM, DRAM) has replaced GPUs as the primary bottleneck; Chinese labs are architecting around it with linear/recurrent architectures that scale context to 1M+ toke…

Chinese open-weight models (Kimi, GLM) match frontier at 1/100th cost, forcing US lab pivot

Chinese labs innovate under compute constraints (linear attention, memory efficiency) delivering GPT-4o-class performance at 14¢/M tokens vs $15 for Fable 5; enterprises switching en masse,…
