What You'll Learn
- ✓Calculate whether a Kimi K3 topology can hold the released checkpoint
- ✓Trace KDA, Gated MLA, Attention Residuals, and Stable LatentMoE
- ✓Preserve reasoning and tool state correctly in production API clients
- ✓Reconcile logical parameters, active parameters, and stored bytes
- ✓Build a workload-specific API-versus-self-hosting cost model
- ✓Design controlled experiments without overstating small-model transfer
