Peter Diamandis highlights Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 as a 2.8-trillion-parameter model that activates only 16 of 896 experts per token.
The post uses that architecture to make a broader point about sparsity: intelligence does not necessarily require every parameter to be used on every computation. In other words, very large models can still behave efficiently if only a small subset of experts is routed for each token.
