What Kimi-K3 is
Kimi K3 is an open-weight, native multimodal agentic model and our most capable model to date. It is a 2.8T-parameter model built on Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) and Attention Residuals (AttnRes), with native vision capabilities and a 1-million-token context window. It is the world's first open 3T-class model, designed for frontier intelligence across long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and reasoning.

Transcript
Kimi K3 is a 2.8T-parameter open model with a 1-million-token context window. This Mixture-of-Experts architecture activates 16 of 896 experts across 93 layers, running long-horizon coding, GPU kernel optimization, compiler development, and chip design. The Kimi K3 License governs deployment instead of a standard open-source license. You can now deploy frontier intelligence for research and innovation.
