- Introduction of Kimi K3: a 2.8T-parameter open model with native vision and a 1-million-token context window.
- Architecture based on Kimi Delta Attention and Attention Residuals, with efficient scaling and 16 active experts out of 896.
- Strong performance in long-horizon coding, including kernel optimization, compiler development, and game dev with visual reasoning.
- Capabilities in chip design, research automation, and knowledge work, such as generating interactive reports and analyzing data.
- Availability on various platforms (Kimi.com, Work, Code, API) with pricing details and enterprise options.
- Benchmarks show competitive results in coding and multimodal tasks, though trailing top proprietary models like Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol.
- Limitations include sensitivity to thinking history and excessive proactiveness, requiring careful handling in applications.
