Moonshot AI's 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weight flagship
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's open-weight model released July 16, 2026, built at roughly 2.8 trillion parameters. It's available now via kimi.com, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API, priced at $0.30 per million input tokens (cached), $3.00 per million (uncached), and $15.00 per million output tokens. Moonshot published the full open weights on Hugging Face on July 27, 2026, as promised at launch. Moonshot positions it as approaching Anthropic Fable 5-tier performance at a fraction of the cost, though the company acknowledges a tendency toward 'excessive proactivity' on long-running tasks.

The 'Next DeepSeek' Movement: o1-Level Reasoning at 1/100th the Cost
Kimi k1.5 is a multimodal large language model from Moonshot AI, specifically engineered for high-fidelity technical reasoning and long-context processing. It is a key player in the 'DeepSeek movement,' matching the reasoning performance of frontier models like GPT-5.2 Codex and Claude 4.5 while remaining significantly more cost-effective. It features a massive 2 million token context window and joint text-vision reasoning, making it ideal for complex coding, mathematical proofs, and large-scale document analysis. The model is built using advanced Reinforcement Learning (RL) to achieve deep...
