Moonshot AI releases weights for Kimi-K3, firing a shot across the bow of OpenAI and Anthropic - open-weight model performs almost as well as frontier models while being 2-3x easier to run
SMRTR summary
Moonshot AI has released the model weights for Kimi K3, letting anyone with capable AI hardware run and monetize it freely. The Chinese AI company's model nearly matches top-tier models from OpenAI and Anthropic while costing 2–3x less to run (just $3 per million input tokens versus $10 for Claude Fable and $5 for GPT-5.6 Sol) threatening both companies' dominance in the AI market.
