Kimi K3 Architecture Overview and Notes
Summary
The Kimi K3 Architecture Notes describe a scaled-up production version of Kimi Linear, rising from 48B to 2.8T and representing the biggest open-weight model to date. A new component is LatentMoE for efficiency, with several other architectural tweaks aimed at faster inference, including attention residuals and a shift from RoPE to NoPE, plus native multimodal support. The post also references architecture galleries and technical reports for deeper details.
