Kimi's open model K3 nears GPT-5.6 Sol and Fable 5 while signaling the end of super cheap Chinese AI

Kimi launched K3, an open-weight multimodal AI model with 2.8 trillion parameters and one million tokens of context, which benchmarks close to GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 while surpassing Opus 4.8 and GLM 5.2. The model is significantly more expensive than its predecessor, signaling an end to the era of super cheap Chinese AI. Full weights are scheduled for release by July 27.

Kimi is launching K3, a multimodal open-weight model with 2.8 trillion parameters and one million tokens of context. In the company's own benchmarks, it comes close to Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol while beating Opus 4.8 and GLM 5.2, in some cases by a wide margin. The model is also significantly pricier than its predecessor. Full weights are scheduled for release by July 27.
