Woofun AI reports that the Kimi project is preparing to release the Kimi K3 model in the coming days. With a parameter count between 20 trillion and 30 trillion, it stands as the largest artificial intelligence model developed in China to date.

Sources indicate that K3 is projected to outperform Opus 4.8 on mainstream benchmarks while remaining below FABLE 5 performance levels. The model will be distributed as an open-weight system with free download access, presenting a competitive challenge to U.S. AI laboratories including Anthropic and OpenAI.
