Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI is here. It’s a massive 2.8 trillion-parameter open-weight multimodal reasoning model with a 1M-token context window, built for complex coding, knowledge work, and long-horizon agentic workflows.

Why Kimi K3 matters

  • 2.8T parameters — one of the largest open-weight reasoning models available
  • 1M-token context — fits entire codebases, books, or long research corpora
  • Multimodal — processes text and images in the same conversation
  • Agentic — engineered to drive multi-step tool-using workflows without losing the plot

Where it fits on Chat-O

Kimi K3 is available in the Power tier, alongside other frontier reasoning models like DeepSeek R1, Grok 3, and GPT-5. Choose it when you need:

  • Deep, multi-file refactors where you want the model to “hold” the whole project
  • Long-running agent tasks with many sequential tool calls
  • Knowledge-intensive questions grounded in a large uploaded document set

How it compares to Kimi K2.5

Feature Kimi K2.5 Kimi K3
Parameters Mid-size 2.8T open-weight
Context 256K 1M
Modality Text Multimodal (text + image)
Focus Balanced chat + reasoning Complex coding, agentic workflows
Tier on Chat-O Balanced / Power Power

Both stay available — K2.5 remains a great Balanced-tier daily driver, while K3 is the choice when you need maximum reasoning depth and context.
