I implemented the Kimi K3 paper from scratch in PyTorch

Independent from-scratch implementation of the Kimi K3 architecture (arXiv:2607.24653v1): KDA, NoPE, latent-space MoE, and the systems co-designs. Table 1 reproduced to 0.09%. - TimRots/kimi3

In plain words

This is a PyTorch implementation of the Kimi K3 paper, built from scratch by the creator. It's designed for researchers and developers interested in studying or experimenting with the K3 model architecture. The project is available on GitHub for those wanting to explore the implementation details or use it as a foundation for their own work.

From the sources

An implementation of the architecture, pre-training protocol, systems co-designs, and post-training framework described in Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence (arXiv:2607.24653v1). Scale is configuration. Nothing in kimi3/ branches on model size, so the same code path runs a 20M-parameter model on a laptop CPU and describes the paper's 2.8T configuration. This repository executes the small end and the verification suite. Training at cluster scale is out of scope, and docs/PAPER_MAP.md marks which components are wired into a runnable path and which are libraries. Python ≥ 3.10, PyTorch ≥ 2.4. No GPU is required. The test suite, the parameter audit of the 2.8T config, the demos, and the nano…from github.com

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
