Latest developments

26 July 2026Kimi K3 open weights (27 July): self-hosting avoids China transfer, licence still unclear

On 27 July 2026, Moonshot AI published the full open weights of Kimi K3 (2.8 trillion parameters, 1M-token context) on Hugging Face. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure sidesteps the GDPR data transfer problem of the hosted API (servers in China, no SCCs published). Point of attention: the final licence terms were not yet published at launch (26 July), Kimi K2 carried commercial restrictions above a certain usage scale. Verify the licence before production use. Infrastructure requirement: approx. 1.4 TB of storage, 350–400 GB of GPU memory with MXFP4 quantisation. source

16 July 2026Kimi K3: no opt-out for model training, data processed in China

At the launch of Kimi K3 (16 July 2026), Moonshot AI's privacy policy states that user content may be used for model training and optimisation, with no in-product opt-out. API calls via platform.moonshot.ai are processed on servers in China; an adequacy decision or SCCs are not explicitly documented. For EU organisations: do not enter personal data until Moonshot publishes a GDPR-compliant set-up. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure (open weights available from around 27 July 2026) avoids the transfer problem. source

Does Kimi train on my data?
The international service is provided by Moonshot AI Pte. Ltd. (Singapore); according to the privacy policy, data is stored on servers in Singapore and content may be used to improve the service. The K2 models are open-weight and can be self-hosted.
What should I look out for with AI in occupational health & absence management?
Occupational health and absence data are health data and fall under medical confidentiality. The employer must not see a diagnosis, not even through an AI summary: keep medical and non-medical information strictly separated. Never use a free chatbot for consultations or case files. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA), require processing within the EU, no training on your data, and NEN 7510/ISO 27001, and ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind the service. Ask the employee for consent before any recording. Do not let AI independently assess an individual employee's fitness for work or absence risk: AI systems that influence decisions about employees can be high-risk under the EU AI Act. Check every report before it goes into the file.
