Moonshot AI Releases Kimi-K3 Open Weights on Hugging Face

On July 27, Moonshot AI officially released the open weights for Kimi-K3 on Hugging Face, marking the model's transition from a teaser to actual deployment.

Confirmed

Based on information from multiple authors and screenshots of the Hugging Face page, the `moonshotai/Kimi-K3` repository is now fully public. The model card, related files, and repository page are all visible and accessible. Hugging Face's recent activity log also explicitly displays the "published a model" status.

Why it matters

The official release of these weights means the long-awaited open-source version is finally here, moving beyond mere teasers and rumors. Developers and researchers can now directly access the weights for downstream research and application development.
