Moonshot AI

📰 Essential
Moonshot AI launches Kimi K3: 2.8 trillion parameters, multimodal, a one-million-token context and standout performance at building web interfaces.
🔬 Expert
The 2.8 trillion parameters need context: K3 is a mixture-of-experts model, only a fraction of the network fires on each token, which keeps inference costs in check. The buzz around front-end coding comes from Associated Press and Tom's Hardware coverage, not from published benchmarks. Above all, Moonshot promises open weights it had not delivered as of July 20: a promise is not a release, and no pricing is known.
