Summary

Kimi has released a new 2.8 trillion parameter model, k3, which is larger than expected and will require aggressive quantization to run on consumer hardware.

I was hopping that Kimi would be 2t, but nope is huge @ 2.8t!! (tears falling) That will make it more difficult to run decently. I hope the Unsloth team can make magic with this model
