Kimi K3 misses its leaked launch time — promo page pulled
A "K3 launch limited-time recharge campaign" page went live on Moonshot's own Kimi Open Platform, offering 10–30% bonus API credits by recharge amount, with the promo dated from July 15 at 00:00 China time.
The page was then removed, and the hour passed with no launch. The official API still lists K2.7 Code and K2.6. No model card, no pricing, no benchmarks.
The rest of this analysis — 3 more paragraphs — plus the source, is on the paid plans.
Every wire item is source-verified before it posts and graded: confirmed · strong · reported · rumor. Subscribers see the primary source on each one, the reasoning behind its grade, and the full analysis — plus the launch alerts themselves, which fire the minute a model answers rather than whenever the feed catches up.
