AA coding index 61.8 (Artificial Analysis, frozen since 2026-09-11)

Moonshot's ~1T general MoE — openly released (unlike K3), and a notch above its own K2.7-Code sibling on the coding index.

Sizes on disk

Real GGUF file sizes = weight VRAM. Add the KV cache for your context (≈57 GB at 32K, fp16). Estimated from the original model config, not from the GGUF we serve. Less reliable than the rest of this page.

Config tips

~580 GB at Q4 — cluster-scale. Serve tensor / pipeline parallel with vLLM or SGLang. Open but not local for most; rent it per token unless you run a fleet.
