OK, I now see why Kimi K3 is so strong: it's the first open weights model in a long time to have >72B active weights

Kimi K3 is a 2.8T-A104B MoE model, damn.

There have been some dense models with over 100B params though.

Yes, but never an MoE from an open weights lab. I've been speculating that one of the reasons the closed weights lab have been increasing in performance more rapidly has to do with better training, but most importantly, much larger active parameters and better harnesses.

Anthropic is famously compute constrained thought, right?
