Key Points

  • A source at Moonshot reportedly expects Kimi K2.6 to be released within the next 10–15 days, characterized as a relatively small improvement.
  • The same report says K3 is still in work-in-progress, with the goal of reaching parity with American models by matching parameter counts to be nearly as good.
  • The post frames the upcoming releases as a meaningful step for the Kimi model roadmap, suggesting near-term iteration followed by a larger, more ambitious update.
  • The information is presented as a tip/rumor rather than an official announcement, so timelines and performance claims may be uncertain until confirmed.

Hey all, heard from someone at Moonshot 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!
