Kimi K3

Instantly via the EU router or as a dedicated GPU deployment. Data stays in Europe.

Kimi K3 is an open-weight, native multimodal agentic model and our most capable model to date. It is a 2.8T-parameter model built on Kimi Delta Attention (KDA) and Attention Residuals (AttnRes), with native vision capabilities and a 1-million-token context window. It is the world...

Your own vLLM instance on European cloud (1680 GB VRAM), billed hourly.

This model needs 1680 GB of VRAM, so several GPUs. On the shared router you pay per token, with no fixed cost. You choose a dedicated deployment for guaranteed capacity, isolation and predictable cost. On price alone, a model this size breaks even in the order of billions of tokens a month.

Shared EU router, pay-per-token, scale-to-zero. Dedicated GPU deployments are billed hourly, see pricing.

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?

Via the shared EU router you pay €3.45 per million input tokens and €17.25 per million output tokens, with no fixed costs. For high volume or isolation you can also run Kimi K3 as a dedicated hourly GPU instance.

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.
