Kimi K3 Open Weights: 1.56 TB Model Hits Hugging Face

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Moonshot AI released the Kimi K3 open weights, a 2.8T-parameter sparse MoE model, on Hugging Face. The checkpoint is 1.56 TB across 96 safetensors shards using MXFP4 compression. The repo includes config files, tokenizer, and evaluation metadata, but uses a custom license with revenue-tier conditions.

Meridian48 take
The massive model size and custom license mean practical access is limited to well-resourced teams, tempering the 'open' label.
