AIMoonshot AI released Kimi Linear, a hybrid linear attention architecture with 48B total and 3B activated parameters and a 1M-token context length, on Hugging Face.

Why it matters: The model card gives concrete long-context speed and memory figures for a hybrid attention design, useful for judging whether linear attention can replace full attention in practice.

AIMoonshot AI has released Kimi-Linear-Base and Kimi-Linear-Instruct, both 48B total and 3B activated parameters with a 1M context length, on Hugging Face.

Why it matters: The model card gives concrete throughput and KV cache figures for a hybrid attention design, which helps readers weigh its long-context tradeoffs against full attention.
