The domestic large-scale model company Dark Side of the Moon released a new generation of flagship large model Kimi K3 on the 16th of this month. The official stated that it will be officially open sourced on July 27th and will be on stage tonight. Kimi created the Kimi K3 model page on the Hugging Face official account and started the countdown to weight release.The page shows that the model is expected to go online at 23:00 on July 27, Beijing time, which is 11 o'clock tonight.
This time point is also more suitable for the local time in the United States. Obviously, I want to shock Americans who have just started working.
Kimi K3 is a large hybrid expert (MoE) model with a total parameter volume of 2.8 trillion and a context window of 1 million tokens. It is also the world's first 3 trillion parameter level super large model open to the open source community.
In the officially announced test results, Kimi K3’s powerful comprehensive intelligence level is close to the two international giants.Ranked third in the world, only behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol.
However, in many core segmented tracks such as programming, agent, and visual understanding, Kimi K3 has competed with these two top closed-source models, and even achieved strong overtake in some cutting-edge benchmarks.
Currently, the main channels for using K3 are the official website and API, but Kimi faces the problem of insufficient computing power, which makes it easy to report errors when there are more services.After the open source, netizens around the world have more choices, and they can even make special versions of K3 large models.
However, deploying the Kimi K3 large model is not an easy task. It is said that two sets of platforms such as B300 are required, and a complete hardware investment of almost 30 million yuan is required.
