- Kimi's official account announced the release of model weights after midnight Beijing time.
- Technical specifications, licensing and deployment claims are not independently verified here.
An official weight-release announcement
Moonshot's Kimi account announced the release of Kimi K3.1 Pro model weights and linked to Hugging Face. The official post was published at 16:00:35 UTC on November 4, equivalent to 00:00:35 on November 5 in Beijing, placing the announcement within China's new calendar day.
The announcement concerns model weights, rather than merely describing access through a hosted application. Its short text does not itself specify hardware requirements, deployment instructions or licensing conditions. This report has not downloaded the model or independently tested a deployment.
Technical details remain attributed
In a later technical summary, AI commentator Rohan Paul describes a 2.8-trillion-parameter model distributed with four-bit weights. He says 104 billion parameters activate per token and describes a one-million-token context. These details are attributed to that summary, rather than independently confirmed specifications in the brief official announcement.
Paul also discusses benchmark and licensing claims. Those require checking against the original model documentation before drawing conclusions about comparative performance or commercial permissions; the release announcement alone does not establish either.
