Kimi K3: open weights published

Moonshot AI published Kimi K3 weights with launch instructions for Transformers, vLLM and SGLang. This is an infrastructure-scale release, not a model for an ordinary home PC.

Published files and instructions for several serving runtimes move Kimi K3 from announcement to an available open-weights release. At its stated 2.8T-parameter scale, full inference requires serious cluster infrastructure. The licence must be read in the model card: open weights does not itself mean Apache or MIT.
