Kimi K3 by Moonshot AI is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock

If your organisation already runs workloads on AWS/Bedrock, you can now call Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model through the same Bedrock API you use for other models, without a separate vendor contract. Its very large 1-million-token context window and vision support make it worth testing for tasks like analysing lengthy contracts, reports or codebases in one pass. Not relevant if your organisation doesn't use AWS/Bedrock.

What changed

Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, an open-weight model with roughly 2.8 trillion parameters, a 1-million-token context window and native vision (image) understanding, is now generally available on Amazon Bedrock with explicit prompt-caching support. This adds a new third-party frontier model option on Bedrock alongside Amazon's own Nova models and other partner models.
