Kimi K3 license limits commercial use for firms above $20M revenue
chandan1_ · x · 2026-07-28
Kimi K3’s license is being described as MIT-inspired but explicitly non-commercial: companies making over $20M a year need a separate commercial deal, and deployments above 100M users or $20M monthly revenue must display Kimi K3 branding.
The post frames this as a rare case of “open weights” with meaningful business constraints, highlighting how model licensing can still control commercial use even when weights are publicly available.
