San Francisco-based legal tech provider Harvey, whose high-profile backers also include Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, said on Thursday that its new model, Harvey Tenet, was post-trained on top of the open-weight Kimi K3 base.
The company said the system achieved “state-of-the-art” performance in complex legal work.
