According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Zhang Yutong, president of Dark Side of the Moon, revealed several internal details about the approximately 300-person company during a dialogue at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management. In terms of organization, Dark Side of the Moon has no titles for its employees, and the organizational hierarchy is extremely flat, with at most one or two layers between any two people. Job boundaries are also intentionally blurred: those working on pre-training can switch to post-training, those in algorithms can move to data, and those in marketing can also engage in model evaluation. Zhang Yutong explained that people's underlying intelligent capabilities are interconnected and should not be defined by labels. In recruitment, Dark Side of the Moon is already using an AI interview system to screen candidates. The system does not consider educational background or major, focusing instead on two things: whether candidates can propose original good ideas and whether they are willing to iterate obsessively on an idea. The AI system records how many iterations candidates have made, what different approaches they used, and how long they continued to try, filtering for those with 'abstract thinking ability and persistence.' In terms of product strategy, Zhang Yutong clearly stated that Kimi will only focus on productivity, concentrating on long-term, complex, and high economic value tasks, and will not engage in entertainment or lifestyle products. She also mentioned that K2.6 was adapted for Huawei's Ascend chips at the time of its open-source release and believes that the demand for inference computing power is exploding. When discussing the relationship between open source and security, Zhang Yutong directly named Anthropic: 'If you think the model is risky, then having it in the hands of a few people could pose an even greater risk.' Dark Side of the Moon has chosen to pursue an open-source route, reasoning that involving more people is safer than being closed off.

On May 13, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, recently commented on the removal of Clause 604 from the CLARITY Act. Hoskinson stated that if developers create open-source software and make it available to the world, but someone uses that software without their consent, holding the developers permanently liable is akin to a "dystopian nightmare."
