Kimi K3.1 Pro is live with a November 4 open-weights release planned
Moonshot AI has released Kimi K3.1 Pro, now available through the Kimi web and mobile apps, Kimi Code, and the API with a 1M-token context window, alongside a Highspeed variant offering roughly 2-3x faster output. The timeline for open weights is still inconsistent: two developer articles cite an official commitment to release the full weights by November 4, while the original summary lists the weights as pending. Reported parameter counts diverge, with official and some coverage citing 2.8T total and 104B active parameters and other outlets describing a 3T-scale model. API pricing is down 35% from the previous generation, and the vendor claims a 65.7% score on Terminal-Bench 4.0 with a reduced hallucination rate of 8.3%.

How is this different from the industry updates board?About the briefingHide
The hot board is a rolling 48-hour window that keeps changing; the daily briefing is frozen once a day so you can look back at what happened on a given date. Both use the same events and the same heat rule: each independent source counts once, decaying with a 24-hour half-life.Open the industry updates board →
