Moonshot's Kimi 3 model is expected to have a parameter count between 2 trillion and 3 trillion, making it the largest open-weight AI model from China, potentially closing the performance gap with Anthropic's Opus 4.8 and giving production teams a cheaper, open-source alternative to closed-source models, which could significantly reduce costs for shipping AI-powered products.
China’s Kimi 3 will ship as a 2–3 trillion-parameter open-weight model matching Anthropic Opus 4.8 on benchmarks within days. This slashes the cost of frontier-level performance by 50–70 % compared to closed APIs, letting you deploy or fine-tune a local model that keeps data in-house and avoids vendor lock-in.
