Kimi K3 ranks #4 out of 200 models on the public leaderboard with an overall score of 80.96/100. It also ranks #4 out of 99 on the verified leaderboard. This places it among the top tier of AI models available in 2026, competing directly with the strongest models from leading AI labs.
Kimi K3's weight availability, context window, and reasoning mode have not been published in a source we can verify yet.
BenchLM links it directly to Kimi K2.6 as the earlier related model in that lineage. This profile currently has 57 of 323 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
Its strongest category is Multimodal & Grounded (#2), while its weakest is Knowledge (#4). This performance profile makes it particularly strong for screenshots, documents, charts, and grounded multimodal workflows.
Peer position
Exact provisional scores and ranks for the closest listed peers. A score can appear before a model clears the evidence threshold for a rank, so equal scores can have different rank states.
