Kimi K3 Open-Weight Model Rivals Top Closed AI Models
Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weight model that ranks fourth on the AI Index, matching Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5. It features a 1M-token context window and costs $3 per million input tokens. The model is part of a wave of Chinese open-weight models including GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and MiniMax M3.

K3's open-weight status is promising, but its full weights won't be released until 2026, and access remains fragmented across multiple platforms.
