Kimi K3 reaches Merge Gateway with U.S. inference providers and ZDR terms

Kimi K3 is now available through Merge Gateway with U.S. inference providers
Merge says Kimi K3 can now be accessed on Merge Gateway through U.S.-based inference providers such as Baseten and Fireworks, with ZDR agreements in place.
The practical point is compliance: teams that need data residency and no-retention guarantees now have a path to run Kimi K3 without handling the deployment themselves.
This is mainly an infrastructure/distribution update around model serving and regulatory requirements, rather than a new model announcement.
