2.78T-param Kimi K3 runs inference on a single CPU in 8.24 GB of RAM
udmrzn · x · 2026-09-11
A demo shared via HuggingModels claims to run 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 inference on a single CPU with just 8.24 GB of RAM — no GPU, no BLAS, no framework. The approach implies aggressive weight streaming from disk, offering a radical path to local inference of frontier-scale models; accuracy and speed claims remain to be verified in the original project.
