Large language model
Verdict
Largest open-weight model released (2.8T MoE). Intelligence 44 on Index v4.3 — a point behind GLM-5.3. Still #7 on Arena Agent. API $3/$15; self-host is a multi-node job under the Kimi K3 License, not MIT.
“Still a top open coder. GLM-5.3 is now ahead on the Index and MIT-licensed.”
Use the API for experiments; only self-host if you already run multi-node GPUs.
Training data policy: N/A — open weights. Self-host for full control.
DPDP Act (India): Self-host in India for full DPDP compliance.
Data residency: Self-hosted
