Kimi K3, the world's largest large model with 2.8 trillion parameters, is officially open source tonight and ranks among the top three in terms of performance. The domestic large model company Dark Side of the Moon released a new generation of flagship large model Kimi K3 on the 16th of this month. The official said it will be officially open sourced on July 27 and will be on stage tonight. Kimi created the Kimi K3 model page on the Hugging Face official account and started the countdown to weight release. The page shows that the model is expected to be online at 23:00 on July 27, Beijing time, which is 11 o'clock tonight. This time point is also more suitable for the local time in the United States. Obviously, I want to shock Americans who have just started working. Kimi K3 is a large hybrid expert (MoE) model with a total parameter volume of 2.8 trillion and a context window of 1 million tokens. It is also the world's first 3 trillion parameter level super large model open to the open source community. In the official test results, Kimi K3’s powerful comprehensive intelligence level is close to the two international giants, ranking third in the world, only behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol. However, in many core segmented tracks such as programming, agent, and visual understanding, Kimi K3 has competed with these two top closed-source models, and even achieved strong overtake in some cutting-edge benchmarks. Currently, the main channels for using K3 are official web pages and APIs, but Kimi faces the problem of insufficient computing power, which makes it easy to report errors when there are too many services. After the open source, netizens around the world have more choices, and can even make specially-tuned versions of K3 large models. However, deploying the Kimi K3 large model is not an easy task. It is said that two sets of platforms such as B300 are required, and a complete hardware investment of almost 30 million yuan is required. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information station (author: Source: Kuai Technology)
