Moonshot AI Unveils 2.8 Trillion-Parameter Kimi K3 Model at GTC 2026

Moonshot AI founder Yang Zhilin took the stage at GTC 2026 to unveil Kimi K3, a 2.8 trillion-parameter open-weight AI model. The Beijing-based startup, valued at $20 billion with $2 billion in funding, is positioning the model as a direct competitor to offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.

..." So it's consistent. I'll translate accordingly. Dutch translation: Title: "Moonshot AI onthult Kimi K3-model met 2,8 biljoen parameters op GTC 2026" Note: In Dutch, "trillion" is "biljoen" (1.000.000.000.000). But careful: In English, "2.8 trillion" is 2.8 * 10^12. In Dutch, that is "2,8 biljoen". However, in Dutch financial contexts, "biljoen" is often used for 10^12, but sometimes "triljoen" is used for 10^12? Actually, the Dutch system: miljoen (10^6), miljard (10^9), biljoen (10^12), triljoen (10^15). So 2.8 trillion = 2.8 biljoen. But note that in English, "trillion" is 10^12, so it's correct. However, in Dutch news, they often use "biljoen" for 10^12. So "2,8 biljoen parameters". But the original says "2.8 trillion-parameter" - we'll use "2,8 biljoen". Also "open-weight" -> "open-weight" is a term, but in Dutch we might say "open-gewicht" or keep "open-weight"? Since it's a technical term, it's common to keep it in English or use "open gewicht". But the requirement says "Use appropriate Dutch terminology for crypto/tech terms". For AI, "open-weight" is often kept as is. I'll keep "open-weight" but could also say "open-gewicht". I'll keep as "open-weight" for consistency with industry usage. "Beijing-based startup" -> "in Beijing gevestigde startup" or "startup uit Beijing". I'll use "in Beijing gevestigde startup". "valued at $20 billion" -> "gewaardeerd op $20 miljard" "with $2 billion in funding" -> "met $2 miljard aan financiering" "positioning the model as a direct competitor" -> "positioneert het model als een directe concurrent" "offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic" -> "aanbiedingen van OpenAI en Anthropic" or "producten van OpenAI en Anthropic". Better: "aanbod van OpenAI en Anthropic". Second paragraph: "Kimi K3 is an open-weight model, meaning developers can access and modify its parameters. At 2.8 trillion parameters, it ranks among the largest publicly known models. Moonshot AI has not disclosed the training compute or data used, but the scale suggests significant investment. The company claims the model achieves competitive performance on standard benchmarks, though independent verification is pending." Translation: "Kimi K3 is een open-weight model, wat betekent dat ontwikkelaars toegang hebben tot de parameters en deze kunnen wijzigen. Met 2,8 biljoen parameters behoort het tot de grootste publiekelijk bekende modellen. Moonshot AI heeft niet bekendgemaakt welke rekenkracht of data voor de training is gebruikt, maar de schaal wijst op aanzienlijke investeringen. Het bedrijf beweert dat het model concurrerende prestaties levert op standaard benchmarks, hoewel onafhankelijke verificatie nog moet plaatsvinden." Third paragraph: "Founded in 2023, Moonshot AI quickly became one of the best-funded AI startups in China. Its $2 billion in funding came from investors including Alibaba and Sequoia Capital China. The $20 billion valuation places it among the top private AI companies globally. Kimi K3 is the company's third major model release, following earlier versions that focused on language understanding and reasoning." Translation: "Moonshot AI, opgericht in 2023, werd snel een van de best gefinancierde AI-startups in China. De $2 miljard aan financiering kwam van investeerders waaronder Alibaba en Sequoia Capital China. De waardering van $20 miljard plaatst het bedrijf bij de top private AI-bedrijven wereldwijd. Kimi K3 is de derde grote modelrelease van het bedrijf, na eerdere versies die zich richt
