Pleasantly surprised with Kimi k3. I switched our software engineer agent to K3 for a few tasks and didn't notice a large difference in quality over 5.6 Sol. It's also quite easy to read, doesn't have the same "density" as gpt 5.6 that I find inscrutable.

Tons of interesting things in the Kimi K3 tech report — here are five algorithm-side techniques that I think either I've never seen before or simply deserve more attention than they're getting.1/ They open-sourced the model but kept the speculative decoding draft model, which…— Zhuokai Zhao (@zhuokaiz) July 30, 2026

Kimi K2 is **INCREDIBLE** at using tools.I built a chrome extension to chat with Google Maps, but I never posted it. All the models kept screwing up.I just replaced them with Kimi K2, and watch it easily plan an epic wine and food tour around Napa Valley for my bday!… pic.twitter.com/OOsQhVi7xL— Jan (@yawnxyz) July 15, 2025

K3 is live, but its open weights aren't. Kimi's docs list 2.8T parameters, native vision and 1M context; there is no weight repo or technical report yet. For now this is a hosted-model launch. The testable open release still has to arrive. platform.kimi.ai/docs/guide/kimi-k3-quickstart
