A new inference engine has been developed that can run the Kimi K3 model, which has 2.78 trillion parameters, using only 29GB of RAM. This was discussed in a Hacker News thread with several points and comments.

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Running such a large model with relatively low RAM requirements could make large language model inference more accessible and efficient. This development may influence how future inference engines are designed for large-scale models.
