Downloading the kimi k3 weights on huggingface right now

It’s crazy to think this is what escaping the permanent underclass looks like

It’s even more crazy that Moonshot AI - a Chinese AI lab is letting me - an American download frontier intelligence that costs tens of millions of dollars to train and develop right onto my local cold storage
