Dedicated model · Available as managed deployment
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is an open-weight, natively multimodal agentic model at the trillion-parameter scale, built for long-horizon tasks, tool use and image understanding. Available as a managed deployment: validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on a multi-GPU system for your traffic only, as an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on hardware only you use, hosted in the EU.
Why Kimi K3
| Frontier scale, open weights | One of the largest open models released: a mixture-of-experts at the trillion-parameter scale with text and image input. |
|---|---|
| Made for agents | Long-horizon tool use is what K3 is trained for (multi-step tasks, code, browsing-style workflows), served from a system only you use. |
| EU-hosted, not a cloud API | Kimi K3 through a vendor API leaves the EU; a dedicated AxForge deployment keeps prompts, tools and outputs on hardware in Europe. |

Deployment
| System | A multi-GPU system reserved for you, sized to the model and your traffic |
|---|---|
| Commercial model | Hardware and managed service Quoted per deployment |
| Endpoint | OpenAI-compatible /v1 on your own machine, only your traffic |
| Location | Hosted in the EU: Málaga, Spain (eu-es-1) |
| Data handling | Zero prompt retention, same policy as the serverless API |
The model is validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on your system. After deployment, your endpoint speaks the OpenAI API with the model name you receive with the deployment.
Data & privacy
Prompts and completions are processed in memory in the EU, not written to disk, not logged, not retained, and never used to train anything. We keep only request metadata (token counts, timestamps, status) for billing and operations. The full policy is at axforge.ai/privacy.
FAQ
Not on the serverless API. It is available as a managed deployment: validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on a multi-GPU system for your traffic only. The serverless API serves Qwen3.8 27B.
