Hey all, someone from Moonshot told me that Kimi K2.6 will be released in the next 10-15 days and will be a small improvement, and K3 is being worked on and the goal will be to match American models in terms of number of parameters to be almost as good as them.
Exciting!

What?
andacolalightplease@reddit
He was right about Kimi 2.6, the preview dropped 2 days ago for subscription holders. He was off by 1 day but that's negligible.

Why are people upvoting this garbage? It's literally a baseless claim.

I was 2 days too ambitious, I guess they had to adjust a bit to the other models that got released :D

jumped on a kimi coding plan but then rug pulled when beta terminated! hope the rollout is sooner rather than later
moneyprintergun@reddit
interesting if K2.6 is already close, even small improvements can feel pretty big depending on the use case
more curious how it performs in real workflows vs just benchmarks, especially for multi-step stuff
Lissanro@reddit
Cool. I run Kimi K2.5 the most on my rig, and K2.6 sounds like it will be a straightforward upgrade. But I wonder, how many parameters K3.0 will have?
No-Thought-4995@reddit (OP)
That's still uncertain, probably aiming for 3-4T
AFruitShopOwner@reddit
You lost me here
Potential-Leg-639@reddit
Looks like i already can‘t run it.
power97992@reddit
Cool, but Where is deepseek v4/3.5?
No-Thought-4995@reddit (OP)
That, I don't know!
srigi@reddit
First, let’s have the MiniMax-2.7 released in the open
Marcuss2@reddit
To be fair, it has been over two months now since Kimi K2.5 came out. K2.6 coming soon is not a shocker.
No-Thought-4995@reddit (OP)
100%

I've heard it through the grapevine... and I drank the wine too

Two weeks™
Classics!
Charming_Support726@reddit
Yes. It directly competes with DeepSeekV4 and DukeNukem
Bob_Fancy@reddit
Company that is continually working on product will be releasing new versions of said product. Shocking news.
Skystunt@reddit
I know mr.Kimi and mr.Moonshot personally and they said this is true !
SpicyWangz@reddit
I hope they release another small model like kimi linear. It’s too bad the architecture was so novel, the model never really took off
pmttyji@reddit
+1. Additional 100B-A5B would be nice too.
cutebluedragongirl@reddit
Oh shit, it's happening!

Ok . How many 96gb are needed?

For Kimi K3 I guess that will be a massive mode, not sure about the hardware to run it...
