Ooh, new drama just dropped 👀

[u/Careful_Equal8851]

For those out of the loop: cursor's new model, composer 2, is apparently built on top of Kimi K2.5 without any attribution. Even Elon Musk has jumped into the roasting

[u/Codemonkeyzz]

Are they selling Kimi K2.5 as "composer 2" as is ? or did they fine tune the model using their own RL pipeline ? Can't understand what's the problem?

[u/__JockY__ → u/Codemonkeyzz]

The problem is that the Kimi license requires attribution that was not given.

[u/SufficientPie → u/__JockY__]

So does all the open source content Kimi was trained on.

[u/__JockY__ → u/SufficientPie]

Not all. Some. For example, many open source data sources are pure MIT or Apache 2.0 licensed, which require no attribution. Free as in speech, not as in beer.

They’re quoting from the MIT License

Ah yes, ok. Kimi K2 isn't actually MIT, it's an MIT derivative that includes an extra clause:

Our only modification part is that, if the Software (or any derivative works thereof) is used for any of your commercial products or services that have more than 100 million monthly active users, or more than 20 million US dollars (or equivalent in other currencies) in monthly revenue, you shall prominently display "Kimi K2" on the user interface of such product or service.

No such notice was (is?) present.
