Kimi launches 3D Make: K3.1 Pro drives Blender, CAD tools and Unreal, Unity and Godot to build models, scenes and games

Moonshot AI's official Kimi account announced 3D Make at 03:14 UTC on Oct 30, saying Kimi connects to tools such as Blender and CAD software to create models, assemble scenes and develop games, available now on kimi.ai and Kimi Work. The companion 3D guide says K3.1 Pro was specifically trained to drive 3D software through Python scripts, so specialized tools without MCP support can join the workflow, while meshes such as people and animals are handed to diffusion services like Tripo. Plugins that need locally installed software work only in Kimi Work.

Kimi launches 3D Make: K3.1 Pro drives Blender, CAD tools and Unreal, Unity and Godot to build models, scenes and games

Key Takeaways

  • Availability: 3D Make is live on kimi.ai and Kimi Work; plugins that need locally installed software are Kimi Work only
  • Two modeling routes: parametric models (furniture, mechanical parts, buildings) via Python scripts written by K3.1 Pro, and meshes via services such as Tripo, Meshy and Hyper3D
  • Engines: Kimi says it is adapted to Unreal Engine, Unity and Godot to import models, assemble scenes and build gameplay step by step
  • Showcase: the celestial palace in the K3.1 Pro launch video was built in Unreal Engine 5.8 from source models totaling 36 million triangles, rendered with Nanite and Lumen
  • Benchmarks: no 3D benchmarks were published; the guide admits some tasks need several rounds, and rigging and complex materials remain weak spots

Kimi apologizes for K3.1 Pro plan rate limits and wasted quota, gives every subscriber a one-time 25% monthly quota reset and trims subagent calls and output length

At 20:14 UTC on 2026-10-25, Moonshot AI's official account @Kimi_Moonshot (post) acknowledged rate limits and unnecessary quota consumption on the K3.1 Pro subscription plan, saying "these were our issues, and we should have fixed them sooner." Every subscriber on every plan gets a one-time usage reset that restores 25% of their monthly quota (usage below 25% resets to zero), equal to about one week of usage; usage bars update by end of day PST. Kimi also adjusted the plan's parameters and is cutting unnecessary subagent calls and output length so quota lasts longer.

Key Takeaways

  • Compensation: a one-time 25% monthly quota restore, about 1 week of usage (official post)
  • Users below 25% usage are reset to zero; applies to every subscription plan
  • Timing: usage bars update by end of day PST on Oct 25 (about 15:00 SGT on Oct 26)
  • Fix direction: fewer unnecessary subagent calls, shorter outputs and adjusted plan parameters
  • Context: K3.1 Pro launched Oct 23 with API pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens (vendor figures)

Moonshot launches Kimi K3.1 Pro: 2.8T-total / 104B-active open-weight MoE with 1M context, 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, API at $2/$10, weights by Nov 4

On 2026-10-23 (17:15 UTC) the official @Kimi_Moonshot account launched Kimi K3.1 Pro, alongside K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2-3x faster). Both are live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code and the Kimi API, and full weights are promised by 2026-11-04. The official tech blog describes it as a post-trained version of K3 with much larger multi-domain joint RL: a 2.8T-total / 104B-active MoE, 1M-token context, multimodal. Vendor-reported scores: 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 (GPT-6 Astra 58.2%, Claude Opus 5.5 66.4%) and 92.7% on BenchCAD with tools. The Kimi API pricing page lists kimi-k3.1-pro at $2 input, $10 output and $0.20 cached input per million tokens, down from K3 at $3/$15.

Key Takeaways

  • 2.8T-total / 104B-active MoE, 1M-token context, multimodal; full weights promised by 2026-11-04 (official blog)
  • Vendor-reported: 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, ahead of GPT-6 Astra (58.2%) and just behind Claude Opus 5.5 (66.4%); 61.2% on the internal Kimi Code Bench 3.0 Long-horizon (K3: 55.95%)
  • API pricing: kimi-k3.1-pro at $2 input / $10 output / $0.20 cached input per million tokens; Highspeed at $4 / $20 (pricing page)
  • On the internal Kimi Hallu Bench Hard stress test, claim-level hallucination fell from 23.4% (K3) to 8.3%; Moonshot notes this is not a daily-use error rate
  • Cyber-related data was removed from mid-training and RL for the open-weight release: xdev-bench-hard pass@3 drops from 90.5% (unmitigated checkpoint) to 81.0%

Kimi teaser video shows the model name Kimi K3.1: Kimi Code terminal reads "K3.1 thinking: high" while generating a Three.js 3D scene

On 2026-10-23 (01:41 UTC) the official Kimi account @Kimi_Moonshot posted a 24-second, retro-CRT-style video with no caption text. The Kimi Code terminal at the start of the clip reads "Model: Kimi K3.1" and "Version: 2.2.0", the status bar shows "Kimi K3.1 thinking: high", and a notice says "Kimi Code Desktop is here". The user then types "Build a complex procedural 3D scene in Three.js." and the model calls the Write tool to create ./scene.js. This is the first time the Kimi K3.1 name has appeared in official material. The post has no caption and no release date, benchmark, price or parameter details, so this is a teaser and not a confirmed release.

Kimi teaser video shows the model name Kimi K3.1: Kimi Code terminal reads "K3.1 thinking: high" while generating a Three.js 3D scene

Key Takeaways

  • In the official teaser the Kimi Code terminal shows "Model: Kimi K3.1" and the status bar reads "Kimi K3.1 thinking: high", the first official appearance of the K3.1 name
  • The clip also shows Kimi Code version 2.2.0 and the notice "Kimi Code Desktop is here", with install via the /desktop command or kimi.com/code
  • The demo task is "Build a complex procedural 3D scene in Three.js." and the model uses the Write tool to create ./scene.js, in a clip of about 24 seconds
  • The post has no caption; release date, benchmarks, price and parameters are not officially announced, so treat this as a teaser and not a release. As of the evening of 10-23 SGT the post had about 1.63M views and 17.6K likes (public X counts)
