moonshotai/Kimi-K3
moonshotai/Kimi-K3 is a moonshotai record on this register. The Hugging Face model API lists the pipeline tag as image-text-to-text. The safetensors index gives an exact parameter count of 2,779,931,837,184. Architectural context length (max_position_embeddings) is 1,048,576. The listed licence is other. The Hub repository was created on 13 Jun 2026, which is the release date this register uses.
Primary source: the Hugging Face model card for moonshotai/Kimi-K3. Fields below come from that card, the Hub model API, and the repository’s own config.json when those files exist. A field we cannot source is omitted rather than guessed.

How to run
Safetensors weights are on the Hugging Face repository. The parameter count on this page came from that index.
The Hugging Face model API lists the library as transformers.
Load it from huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3. This page does not add install steps that the Hub files do not state.
Agent capabilities
This model publishes no chat template, so there is nothing to inspect. That is not evidence of missing support — many base models and some releases simply ship without one.
Questions this record can answer
- When was Kimi-K3 released?
- The Hugging Face repository was created on 13 Jun 2026, which is the date this register uses.
- How many parameters does Kimi-K3 have?

- What is the context length of Kimi-K3?
- 1,048,576 tokens. That is max_position_embeddings from the model's own config.json — the architectural maximum, not necessarily the context a provider serves.
- What licence is Kimi-K3 under?
