Kimi Releases Powerful New K3 AI Model

Kimi has unveiled K3, a massive new AI model with 2.8 trillion parameters. It handles a context window of one million tokens. This makes it one of the largest open-weight models available today.

In early testing, K3 performs as well as the latest leading models from competitors. It outperformed several older industry standards by a significant margin. The company plans to release the full model files on July 27.

This launch marks a shift for the industry. K3 is much more expensive to run than previous versions. We are likely seeing the end of the era for extremely cheap AI development in China.
