Open-model cases
Kimi K3
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 in July 2026 as an open-weight, native-multimodal MoE language model with 2.8 trillion total parameters, 104 billion active parameters, and a one-million-token context window. It targets long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and tool-using agents, while its scale makes local deployment demanding.
Key terms
- open weights
- MoE
- long context
- multimodal LLM
Openness profile
Code and weights are available under the custom Kimi K3 License. It grants broad use and modification rights but adds commercial-service and attribution conditions above stated revenue or user thresholds; it is not interchangeable with MIT or Apache 2.0, and the complete training dataset is not released.
"Open source", "open model", and "open weights" are not interchangeable. Review code, weights, training information, and license separately for each release.
