Kimi K3

This model runs as a dedicated deployment on large GPUs and isn't in the shared playground by default. Get in touch and we'll set it up for you.

Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's new flagship open-weight model: a 2.8 trillion parameter Mixture-of-Experts with a 1 million token context window, built for coding and long-horizon agent work. Moonshot has announced the open weights for late July 2026, with vLLM support from day one. Ta...

Frequently asked questions

Can I run Kimi K3 in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs Kimi K3 on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting Kimi K3 GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does Kimi K3 cost?

Kimi K3 needs several GPUs at once, so it runs as a dedicated deployment billed per GPU-hour rather than per token. Tell us your volume and we will work it out with you.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.

Kimi K2 Thinking

Kimi K2 Thinking is the latest, most capable version of open-source thinking model. Starting with Kimi K2, we built it as a thinking agent that reasons step-by-step while dynamically invoking tools. It sets a new state-of-the-art on Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), BrowseComp, and other benchmarks by dramatically scaling multi-step reasoning depth and maintaining stable tool-use across 200–300 sequential calls. At the same time, K2 Thinking is a native INT4 quantization model with 256k context window, achieving lossless reductions in inference latency and GPU memory usage.

Kimi Linear 48B A3B Base

Kimi Linear is a hybrid linear attention architecture that outperforms traditional full attention methods across various contexts, including short, long, and reinforcement learning (RL) scaling regimes. At its core is Kimi Delta Attention (KDA)—a refined version of Gated DeltaNet that introduces a more efficient gating mechanism to optimize the use of finite-state RNN memory.
