# Kimi K3

K3 is the next generation of open frontier models from Moonshot AI. It builds on everything we learned scaling K2 to trillions of tokens, with a focus on deep reasoning, agentic tool use, and long-horizon coding.

## What to expect

- Mixture-of-experts architecture, significantly more efficient at inference than K2
- Native agentic capabilities: tool calling, browsing, and multi-step planning
- Extended context window designed for repository-scale code understanding
- Open weights, with a permissive license, released right here on this page
