The article says weights will be released in the coming days, and hints it's likely around 50-70B active params.

  It did say that, but it doesn't any longer.

    What's the URL of the article that used to say that?

      https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/guide/kimi-k3-quickstart https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/guide/kimi-k3-quickstart this one, it used to have more information about the model itself, similar to the K2.6 and K2.7 pages. Edit: OpenRouter still describes it as an open-weight model: https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3 https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3 Guess we'll see!

        That's a quickstart page for using the model on the platform not a page about the model. I am skeptical you are correct that it said something about model license earlier. Edited: I was wrong.

          Not the person you're responding to, just a person who still has the original version of the page open in their browser. Quoting from it: "Kimi K3 is the first open-source model to reach the 2.8-trillion-parameter scale. It is the latest step in Kimi's continued push of model-scale boundaries: in 9 of the past 12 months, Kimi models have set new records for open-source model scale." The page has definitely changed. (I'm not sure why you would be skeptical of somebody recollecting something they probably read only half an hour earlier.)

            I was skeptical because the 2.6 getting started description doesn’t say open source either. I do however appreciate the correction.

            It would definitely be useful to save that off and upload it to archive.org.

              I saved the original text, but they've now reintroduced the exact same language in the new blog post.

          Right now, if you search https://www.google.com/search?q=kimi+k3+open+weight https://www.google.com/search?q=kimi+k3+open+weight the blurb under the quickstart page contains the removed text.

    The full [Kimi K3] model weights will be released by July 27, 2026. Further details on the architecture, training, and evaluations will be released alongside the Kimi K3 technical report. https://archive.vn/KBzXr https://archive.vn/KBzXr

    They are still describing it as open source: > Kimi K3 is the first open-source model to reach 2.8 trillion parameters. https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/guide/kimi-k3-quickstart https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/guide/kimi-k3-quickstart

      Nice, they updated it again
