Kimi K3 in C
A 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 running inference on a single CPU
Kimi K3 in C is a portable C99 inference engine built to run the 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model on CPUs without BLAS, machine-learning frameworks, or GPUs. It demonstrates inference from a roughly 1.56 TB checkpoint with measured memory use as low as 8.24 GB. The runtime streams model trunk layers and routed experts from disk instead of keeping all weights resident in memory.
