"Moonshot AI's Kimi-K3.1-Pro released as open weights" (community report, unconfirmed)

Verified (fact)

A post on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA said 'Kimi-K3.1-Pro has been released as open weights.' The body contains only a link, and the collected data does not confirm an official announcement, license, parameter count, or where it is distributed. Kimi K3.1 Pro was previously added as an external model in ByteDance's Doubao Work.

Why it matters (interpretation)

If true, weights would be released even for the Pro version of a top Chinese agent model, which could narrow the gap between open-weight and closed models again. For now, however, there is only one community post, so the official repository and license need to be checked.

Confidence low · official source pending
