As soon as the K3 weights are published on July 27th, there will be many US providers hosting the model. I realize model hosting doesn't really apply to kimi work specifically, but in terms of accessing K3, there will be US options likely in 7 days. Just look at OpenRouter to see the providers hosting K2.6 https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6.
replyLooking at these pages reminds me of browsing jellybean components on DigiKey. Amazing for the consumer, but one does wonder: What are all these DotAI infra companies’ plans to justify any of their valuations if they’re just selling commodity compute on OpenRouter?
replyI never really understood this sentiment. Some foreign company / government cannot do anything to me. My own government, on the other hand...
replyA foreign company can’t steal your IP to build out competing products?
replyOr use source code to find novel vulnerabilities and deeply compromise your company?
Often it's the law. I don't trust the EU more than I trust the US or China, but I also cannot transfer data outside of the EU
replyIt'll most likely land on Bedrock when the K3 weights are released.
replyWill it? Bedrock doesnt have deepseek v4, GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.6, minimax m3.
replyFireworks AI has all of those, and is cheaper than Bedrock.
replyAzure should have those.
replyit has kimi 2.5, which isn't to say this will show up but who knows
replySame. No way I am uploading data to a PRC company. It's not just an IP issue ... there's a very high likelihood such companies will be restricted in the United States, even if they try "Chinawashing" stunts like Bytedance.
