Kimi K3.1 Pro's promised open-weight release faces scale and verification questions

Moonshot describes Kimi K3.1 Pro as a 2.8T-total/104B-active model with a 1M-token context and says weights are due November 4, 2026. Coding, CAD, finance, and other benchmark claims remain vendor-reported; licensing, artifacts, hardware needs, independent evaluation, and the impact of cyber-data removal are unresolved.
