# Moonshot AI Kimi K3 — deprecation status

> No — Kimi K3 is not deprecated as of August 3, 2026. Moonshot AI has announced neither a deprecation nor a shutdown date for it.

Moonshot's flagship, a 2.8T-parameter model with a 1M-token window, native visual understanding and a focus on long-horizon coding work. Its launch is what closed kimi-k2.5 and the entire moonshot-v1 series to new users, so it is both the current model and the direct cause of the largest retirement in Moonshot's history.
