LM Studio Bionic Adds Support for Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 Model
LM Studio Bionic has integrated support for Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 model, a 2.8-trillion-parameter model with a 1-million-token context window. The integration features Zero Data Retention (ZDR) hosting on US servers, alongside newly announced pricing for input, cached, and output tokens. This update provides developers and professionals with access to a massive 3T-class open-weight model directly within their local agent workflows. The default Zero Data Retention policy addresses critical enterprise privacy concerns when using powerful cloud-hosted models. Kimi K3 is priced at $3 per million input tokens ($0.30 for cached inputs) and $15 per million output tokens. In addition to Kimi K3, LM Studio Bionic also supports other open models like DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.2, and Kimi K2.6.
## BACKGROUND
LM Studio Bionic is a dedicated desktop agent tool designed for coding, research, and document processing using local or cloud-based AI models. Kimi K3, developed by Moonshot AI, is one of the largest open-weight models available, optimized for complex reasoning and long-context tasks. Zero Data Retention (ZDR) is a privacy standard ensuring that user prompts and model outputs are not stored or used for training.
