36 tracked sources - collected from clauxel/kimik3
Turn the Kimi K3 launch into a usable research map: verify official facts, estimate API cost, size long-context work, plan local deployment, and track weights without confusing announcements with released artifacts.
Page video
The video is paired with page-specific captions so the moving layer explains the same source-backed path as the text.
Turn the Kimi K3 launch into a usable research map: verify official facts, estimate API cost, size long-context work, plan local deployment, and track weights without confusing announcements with released artifacts.
Practical entry
Choose the decision you need, then jump to the page that contains the right calculator, checklist or caveat.
Useful interpretation
Every text section is paired with a visual model so the page can be scanned as a decision guide, not just read as an essay.
The repository separates Kimi K3's launch claims from artifacts that still need verification. Use the official launch blog for the model identity, use API docs for callable behavior, and use the watchlist before treating weights or a technical report as released.
If you are budgeting, open the API cost page. If you are preparing prompts, use the context planner. If you are thinking about self-hosting, start with deployment caveats. If you need citations, open the source cards at the end of each page.
As captured in the repository on July 23, 2026, Kimi K3 was announced on July 16, 2026; the technical report and full weights were still pending in that scan; no official MoonshotAI GitHub or Hugging Face Kimi-K3 weight repository was found.
Source notes
External references are kept here as source notes. They support the page but do not replace the on-page decision tools.
Use this for model identity, 2.8T scale, KDA, Attention Residuals, native vision, 1M context, and the pending technical report boundary.
Use this for default API cost assumptions: cache hit, input, output, and flagship K3 positioning.
Use this for reasoning effort, max completion tokens, streaming, vision input, structured output, tools, and limitations.
Use this to check official repositories and avoid treating third-party Kimi-K3 placeholders as official weights.
Use this to verify whether a Kimi-K3 weight repository appears under the official moonshotai account.
Use this to align practical page topics such as context, API cost, deployment, benchmarks, open source, and comparison.
FAQ
Short answers keep limits, dates and source boundaries explicit.
It is an independent source-first research site built from the public clauxel/kimik3 source ledger.
No. Official facts are separated from secondary reviews and community discussion, with source cards on each page.
Check official sources for facts, API docs for callable behavior, and the open-source watchlist before planning downloads or self-hosting.
