Frequently asked questions
How much does Kimi K3 cost?
We do not have a supplied price for Kimi K3, so we show none rather than estimate one. Check Moonshot AI's pricing page. When a price is supplied it appears here with the date.
How large is the Kimi K3 context window?
The supplied context window is 1M tokens. That figure has not been re-verified against Moonshot AI's documentation.
Is Kimi K3 an open-weights model?
Yes, it is recorded as open weights, so you may be able to self-host it. Read the licence before commercial use: we have not reviewed it.
Is Kimi K3 better than other models?
We cannot say. No quality benchmark for it is published on this site, and the Model Finder orders results by cost, not quality. Use the finder to shortlist models, then test them on your own prompts.
