What Hardware Does It Take to Run Kimi 3?
basedjensen · x · 2026-07-18
The discussion revolves around what hardware is needed to run Kimi 3 effectively. It notes that some believe 8 H100s might not be enough, weighing options between Huawei SuperPods and NVL72.
The focus here isn't the model's capability itself, but rather the inference/training hardware and cluster configurations required for large model deployment—a core topic in compute infrastructure.
