- Who it helps
- Developers comparing hosted models and planning local deployments.
- Availability
- The official article lists Kimi, Kimi Work 3.1.0 or later, Kimi Code and API access, with weights promised by November 4. Its index is dated October 24; this check occurred October 23 UTC.
What the release claims
Moonshot describes a roughly three-trillion-parameter model with a one-million-token context window and stronger coding and agent evaluations. These are provider-reported results. A larger context limit alone does not establish reliable use of every supplied detail.
Limits remain visible
The report describes task-specific failures and cyber-related restrictions. Current Hacker News discussion debates those restrictions and practical access. The inspected comments do not independently reproduce the model’s headline scores.

Where the evidence stops
No API request or benchmark was run. Exact pricing, independent reproduction and the announcement’s UTC event date remain unresolved. Downloadable weights were promised but were not verified as released.
Sources read. Public sources read October 23, 2026 UTC. No external product workflow, model inference or reported experiment was executed.
