Hugging Face's eliebakouch notes Kimi K3.1 Pro isn't open-weight yet, though it works with reflection beam and alongside open-weight models like muse spark oss, inkling, nemotron, GLM 5.3, dsv4.1 flash and ML4. He calls the release 'marketing bullshit' including its benchmarks, and argues EU users would get more sovereignty self-hosting K3.1 Pro in EU datacenters since the weights are at least accessible.
