PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Moonshot chose finance and coding as the focus of this upgrade, directly targeting the core scenarios of top US rivals. The addition of 3D modeling hints that it wants to extend from a pure text model into production tools such as gaming and design. Competition among Chinese large models is shifting from general capabilities to vertical industry deployment; whoever binds high-value workflows first will be able to defend its valuation.
