K3 Launch Instability Reflects Compute Constraints
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-07-17
Miles Brundage noted that the availability of K3 via Moonshot + OpenRouter is currently unstable, but this should gradually improve with broader access and multi-provider integration.
He views this as a stark reminder that Chinese companies generally face significant compute constraints. In contrast, while US companies also experience launch hiccups, they rarely reach this severity.
