SINGAPORE — November, 11 2025 — EON AI Venture, headquartered in Singapore, today announced the integration of Kimi K2 Thinking, China’s latest open-weights reasoning model, alongside OpenAI’s GPT-5, into the company’s rapidly expanding Virtual Campus Network.
This marks a breakthrough in global education technology — combining the strengths of open-weight agentic AI and enterprise-grade reasoning systems to accelerate access to learning, skills, and income for one billion learners worldwide.Learn more in EON AI Venture Integrates Kimi K2 Thinking with GPT-5 to Power the World’s Largest Virtual Campus Network.
A Turning Point: Why Kimi K2 Thinking Matters
Developed by Moonshot AI, Kimi K2 Thinking introduces a new era of agentic intelligence, capable of autonomously executing 200–300 reasoning steps and orchestrating complex tool chains. Unlike traditional chat models, Kimi K2 can perform sustained, multi-phase reasoning — a core requirement for automation in large-scale education systems.
Within the EON Virtual Campus, this enables AI agents to autonomously manage the entire learner lifecycle — from enrollment and personalized learning to certification, job placement, and income tracking.
“While GPT-5 brings unmatched reliability and logical depth, Kimi K2 Thinking offers openness, adaptability, and sovereign control,” said Dan Lejerskar, Founder and Chair of EON AI Venture. “Together, they allow us to democratize intelligence — uniting trust with inclusion — and transform education into a scalable source of prosperity.”
The Strategic Roles of EON AI Venture and EON Reality
Under this initiative:
- EON AI Venture, headquartered in Singapore, leads the Virtual Campus strategy, designing the AI architecture, economic framework, and automation system connecting skills directly to jobs and income.
- EON Reality, based in Irvine, California, powers the immersive technology layer through platforms like EON-XR, EON AI Assistant, and AI² Creator Tools, enabling visual, interactive, and accessible learning experiences across all sectors.
Together, they represent a shared commitment to AI² — Artificial Intelligence + Accessible Infrastructure — ensuring knowledge remains both intelligent and inclusive.
