Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro: our most capable 3T-class open-weight model.
🔹 1M-token context, 2.8T total / 104B active params (MoE), Multimodal.
🔹 Full-project coding: games in Unreal, Unity & Godot.
🔹 Excels at parametric 3D modeling in Blender & CAD.
🔹 More reliable at finance work: Accurate modeling with hallucination down by 65%.
🔹 Matching the strongest proprietary models across coding, agentic and knowledge benchmarks.
Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2–3× faster) are now live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API.
Open weights by Nov 4, 2026.
🔗 API: platform.kimi.ai
🔗 Tech blog: kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro
Charted the past three months of open weight model @OpenRouter data across all models on all providers.
- Performance to price has, as expected, a modest positive correlation.
- Reliability to price has roughly no correlation. Average reliability is well under two nines.

Table thoughts at our @worldbuildvc compute dinner this week:
Modular, offgrid compute is the way forward
The curve of token usage is about to get even steeper as agents use agents, and cloud alone cannot meet that demand
Multi GW campuses are going to have a tough time
Compute is now primarily a financial engineering/credit game
The market overestimates frontier-lab pedigree as a prerequisite for frontier-level AI capability

2026 is the year companies start seriously caring about model efficiency and reliability as it becomes critical infrastructure

Today's a record day for open weight share of tokens on Vercel AI Gateway.
Aug 22 (today)
🟦 Open: 62%
🟨 Closed: 38%
Jun 24 (~2 months ago)
🟦 Open: 28.4%
🟨 Closed: 71.6%
This is very likely just the start, because enterprise adoption is still early, and harnesses, CLIs, IDEs, SDKs, etc need to be adapted to be model agnostic.

the engineer's job is shifting: stop performing the task, start optimizing the factory that does it.
excited to share auto.sh — a programmable platform for building richly configurable software factories.

Grok 4.6 just dropped.
what matters for how I work:
- beats every frontier model
- 73% cheaper than Fable
- big jump from the model we just shipped 4 weeks ago
frontier intelligence should be accessible for everyone. that's the whole game.

Wow. @deepseek_ai's V4-Pro just launched via API and it looks incredible.
This thing costs $0.87/M out. Opus is $25/M out. It's almost 30x cheaper than Opus! Benchmarks looks like it's somewhere between Opus 4.8 and Opus 5 quality.
Absolutely incredible deflation in frontier intelligence costs. Kimi was 40% cheaper than Opus, but Deepseek V4-Pro is 94% cheaper than Kimi.
(Added bolding because the Chinese seem to never bold their benchmarks tables)
This insane result from Claude is the biggest in analytic number theory since bounded prime gaps in 2013.
It boosted the proven fraction of Riemann zeta zeros on the critical line by 25.6pts. In the 37yrs prior, mathematicians moved it 0.8pts.

1/ big announcement today: we will be releasing an open weight version of muse spark 1.2 soon.
we also are releasing muse glimmer, a 30B agentic model with open weights under apache 2.0. muse glimmer can run on 24GB of VRAM without losing agentic reliability. 🧵
This is awesome work by @ArtificialAnlys. Correctness is quickly becoming a top issue with open intelligence workloads, and providers silently change behavior by tuning, quantizing, and otherwise changing the base model that builders have run evals on and expect.
Announcing the Artificial Analysis Endpoint Accuracy Index, measuring how much of an open weights model's accuracy each serverless API endpoint preserves. We are initiating coverage with GLM-5.2, gpt-oss-120b and DeepSeek V4 Pro, with Kimi K3 coming soon
Providers trade off accuracy to optimize for speed and cost. They quantize weights, write custom kernels and tune their inference stacks, and sometimes they simply ship bugs. We are bringing the rigor of our Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index to measuring endpoints, so developers can pick providers on accuracy, not just price and speed
We benchmark each serverless endpoint against our own self-hosted reference deployment of the official weights, where 100% represents matching the reference. An endpoint is at reference parity when its result falls within the 95% confidence interval of the reference. Coverage is live for GLM-5.2, gpt-oss-120b and DeepSeek V4 Pro, with Kimi K3 accuracy coverage launching soon
Key elements of the Endpoint Accuracy Index:
➤ Three areas, equally weighted: tool calling (BFCL-500, 500 questions, 3 repeats), scientific reasoning (HLE-250, 250 questions, 10 repeats) and long context recall (AA-LCR-25, 25 questions, 10 repeats). Each subset separates endpoints on the serving choices that drive accuracy differences, with repeats sized for tight confidence intervals
➤ Reference deployment: we self-host the official weights at the lab's recommended precision, following the lab's serving recipe, and publish the complete commands for each reference
➤ Inference parameters: we run the model's highest supported reasoning mode and each endpoint's highest supported output length and context window
➤ Confidence intervals: the parity test accounts for uncertainty in both the endpoint's runs and the reference's runs
➤ Rotating coverage: models enter once sufficient number of providers serve them and exit when a newer version in the same family supersedes them. We benchmark new endpoints as providers launch them and refresh all listed endpoints periodically
➤ Point in time: each result carries the date it was measured, with multi-day benchmarks dated to their final day
Key results for GLM-5.2
➤ Output token limits restrict accuracy. Restrictive limits cut responses off before the model finishes reasoning, and the most restrictive endpoints score half the reference or less on HLE-250
Key results for gpt-oss-120b
➤ Tool call handling separates endpoints. Providers parse and format tool calls differently, and some endpoints score 22% on BFCL-500 against 37% for the reference
➤ Serving configuration changes what the model does at the same requested settings. Some endpoints produce far fewer reasoning tokens at the same configured level, and restricted context windows truncate long context tasks
Key results for DeepSeek V4 Pro
➤ DeepSeek V4 Pro endpoints are more in line with the reference. Majority of the endpoints are at reference parity, and DeepSeek's own first-party endpoint scores slightly above the reference

vLLM hit new peak bs=1 decode on Kimi-K3: 464 tok/s 🚀
Under a low-entropy reasoning workload, Kimi-K3 + DSpark on vLLM reaches 464 tok/s on batch size 1 with 4×4 GB300.
This benchmark is fully reproducible with public image: vllm/vllm-openai:kimi-k3 and @inferact's DSpark draft model linked in the thread.
1/3

Kimi K3 license. It's inspired by MIT but distinctly non-commercial, where any company making over $20M/yr must get a specific commercial deal (and display Kimi K3 if over 100M users or $20M/mo revenue)

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Feels bigger than the DeepSeek moment. Its clear that benchmarks don't tell the whole story, and that Fable/Sol tokens are likely still higher ROI on many tasks, but still - this is crazy.
Kimi K3 is the best performing model on nextjs.org/evals, ahead of Fable, reaching a comparable success rate in less time.
This is the first time that an open model is ahead of all proprietary ones for this comprehensive web engineering benchmark.
Notes:
▪️ Benchmarks don’t always tell the full story, although this is important signal, adding to mounting evidence that this could be a breakthrough moment for open models
▪️ No model as of yet has reached 100% completion on this set of evals. The top performer peaks at 92% and 96% “with help”

Replying to @Kimi_Moonshot
Congrats guys on the release and thanks for supporting opensource! 🙏🥰
We'll hopefully be able to make 1-bit GGUF quants so people can run them locally (if you can) 😭
