Kimi K3 Infrastructure: FlashKDA and Chunkwise Parallel Optimization
nrehiew_ · x · 2026-07-29
The author dives into Kimi K3's infrastructure, specifically FlashKDA. Since TP is inefficient for KDA due to fewer heads and unspllicable recurrence, context parallelism is done across chunks.
To solve the state dependency in the delta update rule, they break the computation into independent delta rule factors and local states, requiring only a single All Gather to apply the delta rule, significantly boosting efficiency.
