Currently Kimi K3 requires a Pro or Max subscription, and **consumes extra usage credits**. We’re quickly working on adding capacity to expand access.

Kimi K3 is an open-weight, native multimodal agentic model and our most capable model to date. It is a 2.8T-parameter model built on Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) and Attention Residuals (AttnRes), with native vision capabilities and a 1-million-token context window. It is the world’s first open 3T-class model, designed for frontier intelligence across long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and reasoning.

### Key Features

**New Architecture**: Kimi K3 is built on Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) and Attention Residuals (AttnRes), and scales up MoE sparsity with a Stable LatentMoE framework that activates 16 out of 896 experts — yielding an approximate 2.5× improvement in overall scaling efficiency over Kimi K2.
**Long-Horizon Coding**: Operating with minimal human oversight, Kimi K3 sustains long engineering sessions, navigates massive repositories, and orchestrates terminal tools — from GPU kernel optimization and compiler development to vision-in-the-loop game dev, CAD, and even chip design.
**Agentic Knowledge Work**: Kimi K3 advances end-to-end knowledge work, producing deep research with interactive visualizations, widgets and dashboards, and motion design and video editing, powered by its native multimodal architecture.
**Native Multimodality & Long Context**: Kimi K3 understands text, images, and video within the same model, and supports a 1-million-token context window.
**Open Frontier Weights**: We release the full Kimi K3 model weights under the Kimi K3 License, making frontier intelligence openly available for research, deployment, and further innovation.
