According to the official announcement, demand for Kimi K3 has surged far beyond expectations over the past 48 hours, with GPU resources nearing the current capacity ceiling. The platform has temporarily suspended new subscriptions to ensure a stable experience for existing users, who remain unaffected. Kimi states that additional compute capacity is being rapidly expanded, and new subscription slots will be released in batches. Meanwhile, the platform will future split its membership model into two distinct tiers: one tailored for Kimi’s web client, App, and Work, and another dedicated to programming workflows as Kimi Code membership, enabling more precise alignment with compute resource allocation and ensuring sustained service stability.
