Summary
How to Use Kimi K3 for Free (K3 vs K3 Swarm, Token Limits, Best Settings)The video shows how to access and use Kimi K3 for free at kimi.com by signing in with a free account, switching the default model from K2.6 to K3 (or K3 Swarm), and choosing settings that conserve tokens. The creator recommends avoiding K3 Swarm on a free plan due to token limits, keeping the context window on standard (extra-long is premium), and adjusting thinking effort (standard/high/max) since higher effort uses more tokens. A quick example prompt demonstrates starting a coding task, and the video notes K2.6 can be faster for lightweight requests. It also highlights API testing results, examples of games/3D worlds and video generation using ReMotion, mentions free usage may be paused during peak times, and says Kimi K3 will be open source from July 2026 but requires powerful hardware to run locally.
