[The Dark Side of the Moon Launches Next-Generation Open-Source Model Kimi K3: 2.8 Trillion Parameters] According to official reports from Jinse Finance, on July 16, The Dark Side of the Moon officially launched Kimi K3. Kimi K3 is a 2.8 trillion-parameter model built on the KDA hybrid linear attention mechanism (Kimi Delta Attention) and Attention Residuals technology. It natively supports visual understanding and features a 1 million token context window. It is the world's first open-source model at the 3 trillion parameter level, designed for cutting-edge intelligent scenarios such as long-range programming, knowledge work, and reasoning. Although Kimi K3's overall performance still lags behind the strongest closed-source models Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, it demonstrated advanced capabilities in our comprehensive evaluations and consistently outperformed all other models.
