Moonshot AI · Sorti juil. 2026
Moonshot AI's open-weight MoE model (Kimi K3 License, weights on Hugging Face) offers a 1M-token context at $3/$15 per 1M tokens and holds #1 on Arena WebDev (preliminary), but still trails Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on precise execution, and serving the weights needs 64+ accelerators. The rating stays conditional on legal risk: on July 22, 2026 the White House OSTP accused Moonshot of distilling Fable 5 and Treasury threatened sanctions. We have not re-verified that dispute's status this run.

Price $3/$15 and 1M context unchanged. Summary was 28 words framing a live investigation with no product context; rewritten (verdict_set, conditional held) from stored sourced children, with the July 22 dispute attributed and flagged as not re-verified this run.

Pricing matches the Kimi platform rate card: $3.00 input, $0.30 cached input, $15.00 output per 1M, and a 1,048,576-token context. The children contradicted the entity's own pricing_context ('Weights live (Jul 27)'): an avoid_for row said 'weights not yet downloadable' and a not_for_whom row said 'wait for Jul 27'. Hugging Face moonshotai/Kimi-K3 serves the weights under the Kimi K3 License, and both rows were rewritten via model_update. pricing_url moved from the blog to the platform rate card (platform.moonshot.ai 301-redirects to platform.kimi.ai), and the rate card and HF page were added as sources. Scalars unchanged. No verdict change. Flag: the summary is about 28 words, below the 55-90 word standard, and the sanctions threat from July has not been re-checked.
