Kimi K3 still trails Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and OpenAI’s GPT 5.6 Sol on overall performance, the company said on Friday, but consistently outperformed other tested models.
The model beat Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 — models that sit just behind Anthropic and OpenAI’s leading-edge systems — on benchmarks including coding and general agents, according to Moonshot.
It’s China’s largest AI model so far, with 2.8 trillion parameters, referring to the size of its neural network.
It’s one of those “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” scenarios.
I’ve heard FP16 is likely to be 6TB of VRAM, when Kvcache is factored in.
Even a more sensible quant will likely be 1TB.
… most of us are not running this at home.
No not at all. I feel like I need to sell a kidney, but I got to 64gb vram
I was looking thru an old box of bits yesterday for a project - I needed 2x8GB sticks of ddr3, bought circa 2023. Lo and behold, they had sent me 2x16 DDR4. Wrong size, wrong type, wrong timing.
I’d be mad but apparantly I’m now the king of Londinium and can afford a shiny hat.
