Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro

Moonshot AI's launch post for Kimi K3.1 Pro, a 3T-class model with a 1-million-token context window and a faster Highspeed variant, with benchmark results and an account of removing cyberattack-related training data before the open-weights release.

Summary of Moonshot AI's launch post (October 2026). Original: kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro

The model

Moonshot AI presents Kimi K3.1 Pro as its most capable 3T-class open-weight model so far, with a 1-million-token context window. A companion model, Kimi K3.1 Pro Highspeed, runs about two to three times faster.

Availability

  • Live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code and the Kimi API (model IDs kimi-k3.1-pro and kimi-k3.1-pro-highspeed)

  • Full model weights promised by November 4, 2026

  • Enterprise access is off by default

Removing cyber capability

Moonshot says it identified and removed cyber-related data from both training stages, and that without this step the model's downstream cyber capability would have risen substantially. On its internal xdev-bench-hard exploit test (pass@3):

  • Kimi K3.1 Pro without the removal: 90.5%

  • Kimi K3.1 Pro as released: 81.0%

  • Kimi K3: 33.3%

  • GLM-5.3: 57.1%, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash: 85.7%, GPT-5.6 Sol: 100

Moonshot argues the released model's cyber capability remains behind frontier proprietary models that have been publicly available for at least three months.
