Licenses and commercial use Conditional
Kimi K3 License
Commercial use, modification and redistribution are allowed. If you run a "Model as a Service" business (giving third parties inference or fine-tuning access) and you and your affiliates earn more than US$20 million over any 12 months, you must sign a separate agreement with Moonshot AI before commercial use. Products or services with more than 100 million monthly active users or more than US$20 million monthly revenue must prominently display "Kimi K3". Internal use, and use through Moonshot AI's official products or certified inference partners, is exempt from these two conditions.

Models under Kimi K3 License (1)
We use the license on the Hugging Face page of the original model (the model the quantization was made from), not the label on the GGUF repository, because the two often differ (for example, Gemma 4's original model is Apache 2.0, but many GGUF repositories label it gemma).
The summary states facts this site read from the original text and is not legal advice. Always check the original license and its latest terms before use. All licenses
