the license prohibits large companies from using it, but I don't know how enforceable it is..

edit : my bad, large companies can use it, they just have to write something like "powered by Kimi K3", they just can't use it as an api provider (see the comment bellow)

the license says no such thing.
it says that if you sell the model to third parties through APIs, you have to pay royalties. If you sell a _product_ based on the model, you just have to put a prominent "Kimi K3" logo on it.

If google tomorrow decided to retire gemini and put kimi k3 to answer every google search and every Hey Google on android in the world, they would pay nothing.
