Every model from this lab and its older versions: https://www.anchorterminal.com/open-weights/#moonshot.\n\n## Assessment\n\nMoonshot's newest flagship, eight days old when read, for operators with a rack. Only llama.cpp has its model code in a release, with vLLM and SGLang support still on a release candidate and a branch. The licence is permissive below a revenue threshold, and Moonshot hasn't answered a discussion on the repository yet.\n\n## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Moonshot AI (https://www.moonshot.ai) |\n| Kind | Open-weight model |\n| Category | Open-weight models (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/open-weights) |\n| Auth | None · The weights download from Hugging Face with no account, token or terms to accept. The repository is not gated (checked 2026-11-10). |\n| Pricing | Free (Free) · Free to download and use, commercial use included, under the Kimi K3.1 Pro Licence. A company running a model-as-a-service business with more than $20 million in revenue over 12 months needs a separate agreement with Moonshot AI, at a price not published. Running it yourself costs the hardware, 1,561 GB of files (checked 2026-11-10). |\n| x402 | No · Weights you download and run yourself, so there is nothing to pay per call and no payment protocol (checked 2026-11-10). |\n| Licence | Kimi K3.1 Pro License (modified MIT) |\n| Packages | huggingface: `moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro` |\n| Source | https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro |\n| Docs | https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro |\n| llms.txt | not found |\n| Last release | 2026-11-05 |\n| Surface graded | The open weights at huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro, read from the model card, the files and their metadata, the licence, vLLM's recipe and SGLang's cookbook for the model, and the runtimes' own code at their latest releases on 10 November 2026. Nothing was downloaded or run. Moonshot's hosted API (platform.kimi.ai) isn't listed in the directory and isn't graded here |\n| Model | A mixture of experts with 2.8T parameters and 104B active, 93 layers (69 Kimi Delta Attention and 24 gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention), 896 routed experts with 16 per token plus 2 shared, and a 401M-parameter MoonViT-V2 vision encoder. Text and images in. 2,780,110,363,392 parameters in the files per Hugging Face's metadata. The card says it was post-trained from Kimi K3 |\n| Files | 96 safetensors shards, MXFP4 expert weights (stored as U8) with BF16 and F32 for the rest, 1,561.3 GB stored. No pickle files. Hugging Face lists a SHA-256 for every shard. The repository also holds Python for the configuration, tokeniser, processor and prompt encoding, loaded with trust_remote_code |\n| Licence | Kimi K3.1 Pro Licence, MIT-based, copyright Moonshot AI, for the code and the weights. A model-as-a-service business with more than $20 million in revenue over 12 months needs a separate agreement before commercial use, and products with over 100 million monthly users or $20 million a month in revenue must display \"Kimi K3.1-Pro\". Internal use and use through Moonshot's own products or certified inference partners are exempt. No acceptable use policy |\n| Runtimes | llama.cpp b12242 has the kimi-k31 architecture and names this repository in its conversion code. vLLM 0.33.0 and SGLang 0.5.23 carry Kimi K3's model code only. vLLM's recipe needs 0.34.0, a release candidate on 10 November 2026, and SGLang's cookbook a branch or a development image. Transformers 5.22.2 has no kimi_k31 code and loads Moonshot's own from the repository. Ollama has a cloud entry only |\n| Prompt format | No Jinja chat template in the repository and none in tokenizer_config.json. Prompts are rendered by encoding_k3.py, which Moonshot updated on 5 November 2026 |\n| Tools and reasoning | The card says tool calls and reasoning come back as tool_calls and reasoning_content and that the whole assistant message has to be passed back in later turns. vLLM's recipe and SGLang's cookbook parse both as kimi_k3. reasoning_effort is low, high or max per request, with max the default. The card links guides for structured output, partial mode, tool choice and dynamic tool loading on Moonshot's API |\n| Context | 1,048,576 tokens, the context length on the card and max_position_embeddings in the text config |\n| Hardware | The card states no memory needs. vLLM's recipe serves the MXFP4 checkpoint with tensor parallelism 8 on two GB300 trays, one B300 node or one MI355X node. The files are 1,561 GB and don't fit in 512 GB |\n| Training data | One sentence on the card, large-scale joint reinforcement learning across hundreds of downstream domains on top of Kimi K3. No sources, sizes or knowledge cut-off |\n| Safety | The card reports Moonshot's own cyber results, 74.7 on ExploitBench and 20.7 on ExploitGym. No independent evaluation of this model was found. The UK AI Security Institute's and CAISI's assessment of July 2026 was of Kimi K3 |\n| Capabilities | model.open-weights |\n| Tags | open-weights, model, moe, multimodal, reasoning, tool-calling, modified-mit, safetensors, mxfp4, self-hosted |\n| JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/kimi-k3-1-pro.json |\n\n## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)\n\nAssessed 2026-11-10 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Capability | 35% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Reach | 25% | 38.5 | 40 | 15.4 |\n| Risk | 20% | 30.8 | 50 | 15.4 |\n| Agent interface | 10% | 15.4 | 65 | 10.0 |\n| Documentation and upkeep | 10% | 15.4 | 51 | 7.8 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **48.6 → D** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Capability: Pending for this listing. Nobody independent has published results for it in at least two areas yet, so its weight is shared across the other four and the total is capped at 61 until they do or our own runs start.\n- Reach 40 (checked 2026-11-10): Memory 0, the only build is Moonshot's 1,561 GB MXFP4 release, far above 256 GB. Runtimes 5, llama.cpp b12242 alone has the model code in a release, since vLLM's recipe needs 0.34.0 and SGLang's cookbook a branch. Builds 10, one precision. Terms 10, free commercial use below a model-as-a-service revenue threshold. Download 10, not gated. Hosted 5, Moonshot's API and Together serve it. 0 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 40.\n- Risk 50 (checked 2026-11-10): File safety 15, safetensors only, less 10 for remote code and prompts built by the repository's script. Provenance 15, Moonshot's own organisation with a hash on every file. Safety evaluation 10, Moonshot's own cyber benchmark results and nobody else's yet. Agent guidance 0, none on the card. Licence risk 10, the revenue threshold. Security programme 0, no way to report a flaw found. 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 + 0 = 50.\n- Agent interface 65 (checked 2026-11-10): Chat template 10, the format is only code to run. Tool-calling format 10, the parser is named in the runtimes' recipes and the card doesn't say how tools are declared. Trained tool calling 20, several calls a turn on Kimi K3's tools channel. Structured output 5, named among linked guides without the how. Reasoning control 10, reasoning_effort per request. Context 10, 1M tokens. 10 + 10 + 20 + 5 + 10 + 10 = 65.\n- Documentation and upkeep 51 (checked 2026-11-10): Model card 11, no limitations, languages or cut-off. Training data 5, one general sentence. Last change 20, a commit on 5 November 2026. Responsiveness 0, none of the 8 newest discussions has a reply from Moonshot. Version policy 5, Kimi K3 keeps its repository and no dated note was found. File health 10, the files agree. 11 + 5 + 20 + 0 + 5 + 10 = 51.\n\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (16 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/kimi-k3-1-pro.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/kimi-k3-1-pro.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{\"listing\": \"kimi-k3-1-pro\", \"plan\": \"read\"}`, free while the beta runs\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- Safety evaluation is 10 because the card's cyber benchmark results are read as the publisher's own safety results, the way the Kimi K3 listing reads its cyber evaluation. Read as capability results only, the line is 0 and Risk 40\n- Trained tool calling is 20 on Kimi K3's tools channel and the card's multi-turn tool-call note. The K3.1 technical blog wasn't read\n- File health is 10 with 13 discussions unanswered by Moonshot. If one of them reports a broken file, the line is 5\n- Responsiveness read the 8 newest of 13 discussions. The other five weren't read\n- Confidence is low by the checklist's rule, since no independent results were looked up on the day. The card cites Artificial Analysis and the APEX-Agents leaderboard for some rows, so Capability should be computable\n- unchecked on 10 November: Moonshot's technical blog for K3.1 Pro, its API price, LM Studio's catalogue, the Kimi K3 card for a dated note, and security.txt on Moonshot's domains\n- No sameModel set.

The founders now go on both listings.\n- Moonshot AI: X https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot\n\n### Ownership and investors\n\n- Valuation: $20B as announced (the source doesn't say pre- or post-money), May 2026 round, May 2026 (source https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/07/chinas-moonshot-ai-raises-2b-at-20b-valuation-as-demand-for-open-source-ai-skyrockets)\n- Backed by: Alibaba Group, Monolith Management, HongShan, Meituan, Tsinghua Capital, China Mobile, CPE Yuanfeng\n\n### Getting support\n\n- Discord: https://discord.gg/FBDhVhVH7M\n- Help: https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro/discussions\n- Sources: https://www.moonshot.ai/, https://www.moonshot.ai/about, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshot_AI, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Zhilin\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## What a task costs hosted (estimated, per task)\n\n| Hosted as | Research report | Small website | Bug fix |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| `moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro` (OpenRouter, $2 in and $10 out per 1M tokens) | $2.98 | $1.06 | $0.23 |\n\nEach figure is the same tokens priced at this model's rates, research report (134 fresh input, 207k cache writes, 10.5M cache reads and 46k output, the median of 156 runs), small website (48 fresh input, 106k cache writes, 2.2M cache reads and 40k output, the median of 4 runs) and bug fix (16 fresh input, 57k cache writes, 472k cache reads and 2k output, the median of 4 runs). We measured the tokens with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, so another model may use more or fewer tokens for the same job, and these compare prices, not how well or how efficiently each model works. Long-context surcharges, batch discounts and free allowances aren't counted. Prices are OpenRouter's for each model it serves from these weights. Run them yourself and the cost is your hardware and power. How we measured them: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md\n\n## Strengths\n\n- Published weights for a model Moonshot calls its most capable, with a 1M-token context and images in\n- Free commercial use under a modified MIT licence, ungated, with a hash on every file\n- Moonshot's API and Together serve the same model for agents without the hardware\n- reasoning_effort per request and several tool calls a turn\n- vLLM and SGLang both publish serving recipes for it\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- 1,561 GB of files, so it needs a node of eight large accelerators at least\n- Only llama.cpp has the model code in a release, and no GGUF is published\n- No chat template, and prompts are built by code from the repository\n- No limitations, safety guidance or security contact on the card, and no independent safety evaluation yet\n- None of the newest discussions has a reply from Moonshot\n\n\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Use Moonshot's API or Together unless you have a node of eight B300-class accelerators\n2. With vLLM use 0.34.0 or later and the recipe's flags, `--tool-call-parser kimi_k3 --reasoning-parser kimi_k3`\n3. Pass the whole assistant message back in later turns, reasoning_content and tool_calls included, as the card requires\n4. Set `reasoning_effort` to low, high or max per request. Max is the default and thinking can't be turned off\n5. Kimi K3's model code doesn't load it, because the attention layers changed\n6. Validate JSON output yourself, since the card doesn't document structured output for the weights\n\n## Get started\n\nInstall:\n\n```bash\n# vLLM, per its Kimi-K3.1-Pro recipe linked from the card (vLLM 0.34.0 or later, two GB300 trays)\nvllm serve moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro --trust-remote-code \\\n --tensor-parallel-size 8 --nnodes 2 --node-rank 0 --master-addr $HEAD_IP \\\n --load-format fastsafetensors --enable-auto-tool-choice \\\n --tool-call-parser kimi_k3 --reasoning-parser kimi_k3\n```\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\ncurl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d '{\n \"model\": \"moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro\",\n \"messages\": [{\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Hello!\"}],\n \"reasoning_effort\": \"high\"\n }'\n```\n\n## Similar tools\n\nRanked by shared capabilities, then score.

These are Moonshot's numbers, not our measurement (source: \u003chttps://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro\u003e)\n- vLLM's recipe asks for vLLM 0.34.0 or later, which had only a release candidate on 10 November 2026, and SGLang's cookbook installs from a kimi-k3.1-day-0 branch or a development image. llama.cpp b12242 has the kimi-k31 architecture and converts the repository (source: \u003chttps://recipes.vllm.ai/moonshotai/Kimi-K3.1-Pro\u003e)\n- Ollama's library lists kimi-k3.1-pro as a cloud model only, and Hugging Face lists Together as a live inference provider (source: \u003chttps://ollama.com/library/kimi-k3.1-pro/tags\u003e)\n\n## In Scuttlebutt\n\n- What the chat says about it, newest first: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/chat.json?listing=kimi-k3-1-pro.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on moonshot.ai or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"kimi-k3-1-pro\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
