Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
We introduce Kimi K3, a 2.8T parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 104 billion activated parameters, native vision capabilities, and a 1-million-token context window. Kimi K3 is built on Kimi Delta Attention and Attention Residuals, which improve information flow across sequence length and model depth. Together with Stable LatentMoE, which effectively activates 16 of 896 routed experts per token, and refined training and data recipes, these advances yield an approximately 2.5x improvement in overall scaling efficiency over Kimi K2. Post-training highlights reinforcement learning across general, agentic, and coding domains and multiple reasoning-effort levels, enabling compositional generalization and robust long-horizon execution. At 2.8T scale, Kimi K3 is supported by infrastructure advances in multiple areas: algorithm-system co-design for KDA, perfectly balanced expert-parallel training with efficient memory management, million-token agentic RL with persistent rollout and sandbox states, and deployment innovations. Extensive evaluations show that Kimi K3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon coding, agentic, knowledge, reasoning, and vision tasks. While its overall performance still trails the most powerful proprietary models, namely Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi K3 consistently outperforms other open and proprietary models evaluated in our suite. We release the full Kimi K3 model weights to facilitate future research and accelerate the broader deployment and adoption of frontier intelligence.
QiMeng-CodeV-SVA: Training Specialized LLMs for Hardware Assertion Generation via RTL-Grounded Bidirectional Data Synthesis
SystemVerilog Assertions (SVAs) are crucial for hardware verification. Recent studies leverage general-purpose LLMs to translate natural language properties to SVAs (NL2SVA), but they perform poorly due to limited data. We propose a data synthesis framework to tackle two challenges: the scarcity of high-quality real-world SVA corpora and the lack of reliable methods to determine NL-SVA semantic equivalence. For the former, large-scale open-source RTLs are used to guide LLMs to generate real-world SVAs; for the latter, bidirectional translation serves as a data selection method. With the synthesized data, we train CodeV-SVA, a series of SVA generation models. Notably, CodeV-SVA-14B achieves 75.8% on NL2SVA-Human and 84.0% on NL2SVA-Machine in Func.@1, matching or exceeding advanced LLMs like GPT-5 and DeepSeek-R1.
