What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Coming up in today's episode, we speak about Kimmy K3, which is not Kim Kardashian. So if you remember, if you've listened to this podcast for a while, last year there was this big AI drama with Deep Seek. Basically came out with cheaper, better chips, and all of this money was wiped off of the stock market. This is the 2.0 version and why people are freaking out that this might be what burst the AI bubble.
And given that you've got a brick hovering Vic at the moment, we are going to be talking about the UK economy, what's going on with politics, but also more importantly, how that politics globally impacts your personal finances, whether you're in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, America, wherever.
We are going to quickly touch on oil prices and how this could have a really seriously scary impact on the cost of living globally, as well as a question that's come in from the Curve hotline from someone in the community who is on maternity leave and has been a specific question about how they should think about their investment strategy. This is The Curve Weekly, where we read the finance news so that you don't have to.
Hi, I'm Abbey Foster. I'm covering for VEC, and I am an ACHR accountant, founder, author, finance content creator.
And I'm Sophie Hallwright, XTV radio producer, who was very tired and embarrassed about not understanding the economy, so we started this podcast.

We have been shortlisted slash, are we a finalist? We're a finalist in the British Podcast Awards. That's so exciting. Can you believe it? I cannot. Yesterday we were in the office and I hear this like gasp from Emily and she said, oh my God, we've been short, we're finalists. I keep saying shortlisted. We are finalists, which is just wild. And you can only get three seats to go to the actual awards night. And we were like, where is it? I don't know. Where are they? It's some big night. I mean, honestly, it's quite fun. Oh, it's at the O2. Bloody hell. Are you joking?
Oh, that's fun.
What is Kimi K3 and why is Moonshot AI's open‑source model shaking up the AI market?
So they're like the smaller part of the O2. So like the smaller stage. No way.
That's so fun. Oh, I would be so nervous if we actually had to go on stage. Thank you so much, everyone who voted. Even our investors sent us notes saying like, we voted for you. It's like, thanks, guys. That's so cute. It's so fun. How's your week been?
In news? Well, finance and politics news. No personal news. Before you get into it. And I love that she's just like absolutely. That is my life. I want to have a different life that's not all about finance, politics. I think this week, mainly it's just, I was meant to have a really quiet week and it just didn't end up like that. I went to the cricket yesterday. I went to Lords, which was fun. Everyone doesn't know what Lords is. Can you explain? Yeah.
How could free, open‑source AI like Kimi K3 threaten ChatGPT and Claude subscription models?
So it's like in St. John's Woods, like northwest London-ish. And it's just a big cricket ground. And it's apparently one of the most prestigious in the UK. And in my own view, it was just old. We were in a box with Compare the Market and it was really cool. But everything's a bit dated and old-fashioned in my personal opinion. But maybe it's because I don't understand the history and the richness of cricket.
Would we say cricket is the most boring sport to watch? I would. Like I find myself very easily just looking the other way. Because you messaged me at 1pm on your way there and then at 10pm just got home. That is a huge day. Did you have a nice week? Yes, I had a lovely week. I had a wedding where I went completely sober.
