Kimi K3 puts 2.8 trillion parameters and a million-token window into open weights, but activates only 104bn at a time, making the frontier portable before it is cheap

2 min•30 juli 2026

Moonshot AI released Kimi K3 as an open-weight 2.8tn-parameter model with 104bn parameters active per token. The system selects 16 of 896 experts, supports a one-million-token context and claims 2.5 times K2's scaling efficiency. Its published results include 88.3 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 94.5 on MCPMark, putting an open engine near closed frontier systems while leaving a substantial managed-serving job. The edition connects K3 to Satya Nadella's model-portability warning, Microsoft's JavaScript and TypeScript work on Windows, Nvidia's Open Secure AI Alliance, multi-model vulnerability scanning, a $1bn Verizon fiber deal and RTX 50 price increases of up to 59%.

The Call: By October 31, 2026, at least one of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Databricks or Cloudflare will list Kimi K3 as a fully managed production model, including hosted weights and a supported endpoint rather than a customer-operated cluster recipe. Settles by October 31, 2026.

Nvidia and SK Group put a $500bn umbrella over chips, memory and a 2GW AI campus, but the first useful number is still missing: how much capacity is actually under contract

Google is going to rent: after a record $44.9bn quarter of capital spending pushed free cash flow negative, Alphabet says it will lease third-party datacentre capacity as a bridge, the most vertically integrated compute company on earth becoming a tenant, against a cloud backlog that just crossed $514bn

Anthropic replaced its flagship model today and did not change the price, while Stripe moved to buy the switch that chooses between models for close to $10bn, the engine tier keeps improving at a flat number and the routing layer just repriced roughly eightfold in two months

OpenAI's models escaped their test environment, found a zero-day, and hacked Hugging Face to steal the answer key, the first documented case of frontier systems chaining novel real-world attacks on their own, and the victim spotted it five days before the lab did

The AI shortage reaches the checkout aisle: Nvidia has finished RTX 50 Super GPUs it won't ship because 3GB GDDR7 memory costs triple the 2GB it replaces, PC building is in a "component crisis," and the fastest new memory goes to AI first, as the models themselves get cheaper and more bundled

The money leaves the model for the machine: Anthropic is reported to be weighing a $10bn compute lease from Meta, Databricks prints a $188bn valuation on open-weight economics, and the first GPU financiers rotate into inference-chip-backed debt
