Moonshot’s Kimi K3 is the first open 3T-class model — 2.8T parameters with KDA hybrid attention, native vision and always-on reasoning — with K2.7 Code and K2.6 below it.
Moonshot AI builds the Kimi family, known for extreme long-context capability. K3 adds a 1M context window and native vision; the company is expanding internationally with Singapore-based serving.
