__Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.__

## Software Integration:

**Runtime Engines:**

- **Other:** vLLM with NVIDIA Dynamo 1.7.0

**Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:**

- **NVIDIA Blackwell:** GB300

**Supported Operating System(s):** Linux

__The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.__

## Model Version(s)

## Training, Testing, and Evaluation Datasets:

### Training Dataset

**Data Modality:** Text, Image, Video  
**Image Training Data Size:** Undisclosed  
**Text Training Data Size:** Undisclosed  
**Video Training Data Size:** Undisclosed  
**Training Data Collection:** Undisclosed  
**Training Labeling:** Undisclosed  
**Training Properties:** Post-training uses joint reinforcement learning across hundreds of domains. The developer reports removing cyber-related mid-training data and reinforcement-learning tasks; dataset names and modality-specific sizes are undisclosed.

### Testing Dataset

**Testing Data Collection:** Undisclosed  
**Testing Labeling:** Undisclosed  
**Testing Properties:** Undisclosed

### Evaluation Dataset

**Evaluation Data Collection:** Hybrid: Automated, Manually-Collected  
**Evaluation Labeling:** Hybrid: Automated, Manually-Labeled  
**Evaluation Properties:** Moonshot AI reports evaluations of coding, CAD reconstruction, and financial-document tasks.  
**Evaluation Benchmark Score:** Vendor-reported results are listed below; scores use the associated agent and tool configurations.

| Benchmark | Kimi K3.1 Pro result |
| --- | --- |
| Terminal-Bench 4.0 | 65.7% |
| BenchCAD, 1,000-file subset | 92.7% Voxel IoU with tools; 72.8% without tools |
| OfficeQA Pro v2 | 64.4 |

**Evaluation Methodology Notes:**

- **Benchmark testing conditions:** Reasoning effort `max`, temperature `1.0`, and top-p `0.95`, unless otherwise specified.
- **Terminal-Bench 4.0:** Claude-Code harness; resource-constrained terminal tasks with strict task-specific tests.
- **BenchCAD:** Multi-view CAD reconstruction on a 1,000-file subset; Voxel IoU scores distinguish tool-assisted and unassisted runs.
- **OfficeQA Pro v2:** Claude Code; the entire PDF corpus is rendered as images without machine-readable text. Tasks that retrieve reference answers online receive zero.

See the [vendor announcement](https://www.kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro) for the complete benchmark suite and methodology.

## Inference

**Acceleration Engine:** vLLM  
**Test Hardware:** NVIDIA Blackwell (GB300 × 8)

## Additional Details

### Cybersecurity

Moonshot AI reports reduced vulnerability-exploitation capability after training-data filtering, while residual dual-use cybersecurity capability remains.

## Ethical Considerations

NVIDIA believes Trustworthy AI is a shared responsibility and we have established policies and practices to enable development for a wide array of AI applications. Developers should work with their internal model team to ensure this model meets requirements for the relevant industry and use case and addresses unforeseen product misuse.

Please make sure you have proper rights and permissions for all input image and video content; if image or video includes people, personal health information, or intellectual property, the image or video generated will not blur or maintain proportions of image subjects included.

Users are responsible for model inputs and outputs. Users are responsible for ensuring safe integration of this model, including implementing guardrails as well as other safety mechanisms, prior to deployment.
