Kimi K3 is live on Featherless
Blog post from Featherless
Moonshot has introduced Kimi K3, an open-weight AI model boasting nearly 3 trillion parameters, significantly expanding upon its predecessor, K2, which had about 1 trillion parameters. This model is notable for its innovative architecture, including the Kimi Delta Attention mechanism, which enhances scaling efficiency, and its capability for native multimodality, allowing it to process images directly with an upgraded vision system. Kimi K3 has demonstrated competitive performance on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench 2.1 and GPQA Diamond, matching or surpassing closed-weight models such as Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol. Its availability on Featherless, with features like a 32K context and FP8 quantization, aims to make powerful open models accessible to all, with options for dedicated GPU clusters to support larger-scale operations. This development has drawn attention, particularly in Washington DC, as it represents a significant advance from an open-weight model originating in China.
