Which AI tool is easiest for creating a website from scratch that is hosted by GoDaddy? Is GoDaddy's AI tool worth a look?

Two Chinese AI companies released frontier models last week that they say can compete with the best from OpenAI and Anthropic. And they're giving them away for free. Moonshot launched Kimi K3 ... a massive model with 2.8 trillion parameters. They say it only trails OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and Anthropic's Claude Fable 5. Alibaba followed with Qwen3.8 Max at 2.4 trillion parameters, claiming it's second only to Claude Fable 5. Here's what makes this different from the usual AI announcements. Both companies are making these models fully open-source. That means any developer in the world can download them, modify them, and build new tools on top of them. While the big US labs mostly keep their best models locked behind paid subscriptions, China is betting on giving theirs away. Demand for Kimi K3 was so high that Moonshot had to temporarily stop accepting new users ... they literally ran out of computing capacity. A few things that stood out to me: - The gap between the best open-source and closed-source models is getting smaller - More competition means better AI tools at lower prices for everyone - Open-source models give smaller companies and developers access to capabilities that used to be locked behind expensive APIs America still has big advantages in chips and investment. But the lead is narrower than most people realise. Do you think open-source AI will win out over closed models in the end? Or will the big US labs stay ahead? 👇

I don't know if this is scary or what... I got an email: You're invited to advertise on ChatGPT. Millions of people come to ChatGPT every day to discover options, compare choices, and decide what to do next. ChatGPT Ads give your business an opportunity to show up in these high-intent moments.

A client didn't have a spreadsheet for some data we needed. All they had was a couple PDF files of AR in a dropbox folder we couldn't download from. We used screen capture to get images that we put into AI for OCR, and told AI to create a spreadsheet adding the sheet with each new image we added. When we added the last image, AI ran totals and subtotals. And found that at least one set of data was missed. It told me the values to look for. It took me less than a minute to find the missing transaction. Everything match up after that. Whoo-hoo!

I did something recently that genuinely surprised me. I used AI to review a full set of year-end financial statements. Not summarise them ... actually review them. It opened the accounts, checked the numbers, flagged errors, and corrected mispostings directly inside QuickBooks Online. Some of it was remarkable. Some of it was concerning. Both reactions are appropriate. So next Wednesday — 3 June, 4pm UK / 11am ET — I'm going live for 60 minutes to show you exactly what happened. I'll cover: - Why agentic AI changes everything accountants thought was possible - What happened when I used AI to review my own year-end accounts - Whether junior bookkeeping and data-entry roles are genuinely at risk - The hidden limitations I discovered during real-world testing - Why privacy and client confidentiality are now the most important conversations your firm needs to have This isn't theory. This is me showing you what I actually tested ... what worked, what didn't, and what it means for your firm. 👆 Head to the Calendar tab 👆, find the June 3 event, and add it to your calendar. The Zoom link is right there. What's your gut reaction — do you think AI can genuinely replace parts of what accountants do? 👇
