Moonshot AI introduces Kimi K3, a 2.8T-parameter open model with native vision and a 1-million-token context window, available today on Kimi platforms and API, with weights to be released by July 2026. It demonstrates strong performance in coding, knowledge work, and reasoning, outperforming several other models in benchmarks while still trailing the most powerful proprietary models like Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol.
GitHub announced general availability of Kimi K3, an open-weight model, in GitHub Copilot. The model offers frontier-level agentic coding abilities at a pricing of $3 per 1M input tokens, $15 per 1M output tokens, and $0.30 per 1M cached input tokens. It is hosted on Fireworks AI and available across multiple Copilot plans and tools. The rollout is temporarily paused due to a GitHub Actions incident but will resume.
Together AI announces the availability of Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, a 2.8-trillion-parameter open-weight model with 1M context, hybrid attention (KDA), Attention Residuals, and Stable LatentMoE architecture, served via an OpenAI-compatible API.
Together AI announces a strategic partnership with Moonshot AI to serve Kimi models, with Together AI as the launch platform for Moonshot's open-weight model releases starting with Kimi K3.
Open-weight models are changing the economics of building and deploying AI at scale. Rapid gains in intelligence and efficiency mean companies can match each workload with the right balance of capability, speed, and cost.
