The FT reported August 7, citing three people familiar, that it's over three times the size of Moonshot's Kimi K3 at ~2.8T. Still in pre-training, which typically runs three to six months before fine-tuning and release. Discount the headline hard: without active-parameter count, training budget, data mix or published evals, 10T tells you nearly nothing about capability, and the FT couldn't independently verify the details.
