Description

Kimi K3 is a large-scale AI model from Moonshot AI designed for advanced reasoning, software engineering, visual understanding, agentic workflows, and knowledge work. The model is built with 2.8 trillion parameters and uses Kimi Delta Attention, a hybrid linear attention design created to support long-context intelligence. It also includes Attention Residuals and a native 1 million token context window, giving developers room to work with large files, repositories, documentation sets, transcripts, and enterprise knowledge bases. Kimi K3 always runs with thinking mode enabled and currently supports maximum reasoning effort by default. Developers can access the model through Moonshot’s OpenAI-compatible API using Python, cURL, and the OpenAI SDK. The API supports standard chat completions, streaming output, structured JSON Schema responses, partial continuation from a prefix, custom tool calling, required tool choice, and dynamic tool loading. Kimi K3 also supports vision inputs, including local images encoded as base64 and video files uploaded through the file API. Automatic context caching helps repeated long-prefix workflows become more efficient without requiring manual cache IDs or extra cache parameters. By combining long context, visual understanding, tool use, structured output, and advanced reasoning, Kimi K3 is built for developers creating sophisticated AI agents, coding systems, research tools, and enterprise applications.

Description

MiniMax M3 is a frontier open-weight AI model built for coding, agentic work, multimodal understanding, and ultra-long-context tasks. The model supports up to a 1 million token context window, allowing it to work across large codebases, long documents, logs, project histories, and complex task environments. MiniMax M3 introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention, a sparse attention architecture designed to make long-context processing more efficient. The model is natively multimodal, with training that supports deeper semantic fusion across text, image, and video inputs. It is designed to support software engineering tasks, repository analysis, terminal-style work, browser-style retrieval, tool use, and autonomous workflows. MiniMax M3 has a mixture-of-experts architecture with hundreds of billions of total parameters and a smaller activated parameter count for more efficient inference. Developers can use it for AI coding assistants, workflow automation, research agents, document analysis, visual reasoning, and enterprise AI systems. Its long-context capability makes it especially useful when tasks require many files, references, instructions, or interaction histories to stay available at once. MiniMax M3 helps teams build more capable AI agents that can understand larger problems, work across multiple modalities, and execute complex tasks with stronger context awareness.
