was messing with the OpenAI base URL in Cursor and caught this accounts/anysphere/models/kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast so composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL at least rename the model ID

im pretty sure this is in violation of moonshot's ToS. this is going to be fun to watch unfold

They probably licensed it. Still a bit deceptive not to mention it on the model card/blog post, but companies whitelabel all the time without mentioning.

It goes against the ML community ethos to obscure it, but is common branding practice.

No they didn't [0][1]. With this leak they're probably negotiating as we speak, which could be why they've deleted the posts.

Cursor「自研」Composer 2内藏Kimi K2.5,月之暗面公开指控:未遵守许可证、未支付费用 - 最新链上快讯 - ChainThink链智库

据 1M AI News 监测,开发者 @fynnso 在调试 Cursor API 请求时发现,Composer 2 的实际模型 ID 为 `kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast`,字面即「Kimi K2.5 + RL」。月之暗面(Moonshot AI)预训练负责人杜羽伦(@Yulun_Du)随即发推,称团队测试 Composer 2 的 tokenizer 后发现「与我们的 Kimi tokenizer 完全一致」,「几乎可以确认这是我们的模型被进一步后训练的结果」,并直接 @ Cursor 联合创始人 Michael Truell,质问「为什么不尊重我们的许可证,也没有支付任何费用」。Cursor 3 月 19 日发布 Composer 2 时称,性能提升来自「首次对基座模型进行继续预训练,再结合强化学习」,但全程未提及 Kimi K2.5。两点并不矛盾:继续预训练和 RL 本就施加在某个基座之上,Cursor 只是未披露基座来源。Kimi K2.5 采用修改版 MIT 协议,明文规定:月活超 1 亿或月营收超 2000 万美元的商业产品,必须在用户界面显著标注「Kimi K2.5」。以 Cursor 293 亿美元估值及付费用户规模,月营收门槛几乎必然触发。截至发稿,Cursor 未公开回应。

I stand corrected, that is pretty scummy.

I bet Moonshot is going to make them open their wallets to avoid legal trouble.
