Gate News message, April 27 — Moonshot AI plans to launch Kimi K3 in Q3 2026 (July-September), according to reports. The model will feature over 2.5 trillion parameters, with internal testing revealing context window capabilities exceeding 1 million tokens.
However, whether the 1M context will be available in the public release remains uncertain. The primary bottleneck limiting the 1M context rollout is computational resources rather than technical capability, sources indicate. Kimi’s current public version K2.6 maintains a 256K context window.
The development comes as DeepSeek V4 has already positioned 1M context as a public offering, raising the bar for long-context capabilities in open-weight models. If Kimi K3 brings 1M context to its public release, Moonshot would match DeepSeek V4 in both model scale and long-context performance.

Mac Studio Runs Large-Model Performance Tests: M3 Ultra, Cluster Solutions, and Expectations for M5 Ultra
In April 2026, models at the trillion-parameter class such as DeepSeek V4 Pro and Kimi K2.6 were released in succession, making “running frontier open-source LLMs on your own machine” a feasible option. For engineers and small teams who don’t want to build an H100 workstation but still want full local inference capability, \\Mac Studio M3 Ultra 256GB\\ is currently the most cost-effective single-machine solution, and with a Thunderbolt 5 cluster it can go up into the 1T-parameter range. This article compiles real-world test data for running large models on the M3 Ultra, cluster solutions, the advantages of the MLX framework, and the expected timeline for the M5 Ultra.
