Introducing Kimi K3.1 ProWe're introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro, the first model in our new K3.1 series and our most capable 3T-class open-weight model to date, with a 1-million-token context window. It delivers substantial improvements across coding, 3D creation, financial research, and other agentic capabilities. We are also releasing Kimi K3.1 Pro Highspeed, which delivers 2-3× the speed of K3.1 Pro for more responsive interactions. Kimi K3.1 Pro and Kimi K3.1 Pro Highspeed are available today on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API. The full model weights will be released by Nov 4. Advancing the Frontier of Open Intelligence Kimi K3.1 Pro is a post-trained version of Kimi K3, with substantially larger post-training compute. To enable large-scale joint RL across hundreds of downstream domains, we optimized every layer of the stack — the RL framework, long-context inference, training efficiency, sandbox infrastructure, rollout scheduling, and a shared platform for environment quality checks — so that each increment of RL compute delivers stable, predictable returns. As a result, K3.1 Pro achieves consistent gains in every domain. Across coding, agentic, and knowledge benchmarks, K3.1 Pro matches or approaches the strongest proprietary models. On Terminal-Bench 4.0, which evaluates coding agents on realistic, resource-constrained terminal tasks using strict task-specific tests, K3.1 Pro scores 65.7%, ahead of GPT-6 Astra (58.2%) and narrowly behind Claude Opus 5.5 (66.4%). And on Kimi Code Bench 3.0 Long-horizon, our internal benchmark that tests coding agents' multi-step execution, tool use, and end-to-end problem solving across diverse engineering domains, K3.1 Pro scores 61.2%, above K3's 55.95%. Coding K3.1 Pro covers the full range of coding work, from quick fixes in real codebases to full-project builds. It also brings a more considered visual style to games and web experiences, and knows how to build them with the right tools. K3.1 Pro works effectively across game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, combining them with web search and 3D generation to create complete experiences. Its front-end pages, interactive Three.js scenes, and 3D assets show stronger composition, typography, animation, and polish. The examples below were created end to end by K3.1 Pro: K3.1 Pro's long-horizon coding capabilities are also strengthened through large-scale reinforcement learning. In one internal test, it built a human walking dynamics simulator …
