Kimi K3 Subscriptions Paused Due to Compute Shortage
sull · x · 2026-07-19
Moonshot stated that **demand for Kimi K3 has vastly exceeded current compute capacity in the past 48 hours**. To prioritize the experience of existing subscribers, the team has **temporarily paused new subscriptions** and is allocating compute priority to current members. The official statement noted they will expand capacity as soon as possible and **resume new subscriptions in batches**. Meanwhile, the membership system will be split into two more focused plans: **Kimi Membership** for Kimi Web / App / Work, and **Kimi Code Membership** for coding workflows, in order to more precisely match compute resources and stabilize the user experience.
