I wish they had some kind of US hosted option, NDR policy, or something like that. I love the price and power, but I have concerns around data sovereignty and leaking IP to an overseas company.

It'll most likely land on Bedrock when the K3 weights are released.

  Will it? Bedrock doesnt have deepseek v4, GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.6, minimax m3.

    it has kimi 2.5, which isn't to say this will show up but who knows

    Fireworks AI has all of those, and is cheaper than Bedrock.
  - fbrncci 3mo ago
    Azure should have those.

Same. No way I am uploading data to a PRC company. It's not just an IP issue ... there's a very high likelihood such companies will be restricted in the United States, even if they try "Chinawashing" stunts like Bytedance.

As soon as the K3 weights are published on July 27th, there will be many US providers hosting the model. I realize model hosting doesn't really apply to kimi work specifically, but in terms of accessing K3, there will be US options likely in 7 days. Just look at OpenRouter to see the providers hosting K2.6 https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6.

  Looking at these pages reminds me of browsing jellybean components on DigiKey. Amazing for the consumer, but one does wonder: What are all these DotAI infra companies’ plans to justify any of their valuations if they’re just selling commodity compute on OpenRouter?

  Yea, but those aren't subscriptions with fixed costs. I'm wary of running my dev flow against a pay-per-token endpoint, since costs can easily explode doing that.

I never really understood this sentiment. Some foreign company / government cannot do anything to me. My own government, on the other hand...

  Often it's the law. I don't trust the EU more than I trust the US or China, but I also cannot transfer data outside of the EU

  A foreign company can’t steal your IP to build out competing products? Or use source code to find novel vulnerabilities and deeply compromise your company?
