Kimi K3 is Moonshot's flagship 2.8 trillion-parameter model, built on Kimi Delta Attention (a hybrid linear attention mechanism) with Attention Residuals. It offers native visual understanding, always-on reasoning, and a 1M-token context window for long-horizon coding, knowledge work, and deep reasoning tasks.
ByteDance's next-generation video model with a unified multimodal reference-to-video architecture. Generates video from text, up to 30 reference images, 10 reference videos, and 10 reference audio clips — including audio-only input with no image or video required. Supports first/last-frame image-to-video, video editing, video extension, intelligent duration (including automatic selection), and adaptive aspect ratio.
