Kimi K3: The Complete Open-Weight LLM & AI Agent Course

Master the open-weight Kimi K3 model: RAG, tool calling, agentic workflows, evaluation, and enterprise deployment
Last updated 10/2026
English

What you'll learn

  • What is Kimi K3? Learn LLM Basics
  • Build agentic, tool-calling systems on Kimi K3, an open-weight model competitive with the closed frontier
  • Evaluate an LLM system's accuracy, cost, and latency with your own harness instead of trusting a public benchmark
  • Query million-token documents in a single API call, and know when retrieval (RAG) is the better choice instead
  • Assemble a vision-based agent that compares paired images against a written policy
  • Choose correctly between prompting, retrieval, and fine-tuning — and run a real LoRA fine-tuning job
  • Defend a deployment's licensing, security, and data-residency posture to legal, compliance, and finance
  • Cost optimization techniques

Description

Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's open-weight model: near-frontier performance, a fraction of the usual price, and yours to build on. This course is the engineering layer on top of it: evaluating a system before you trust it, controlling what it costs, choosing correctly between prompting, retrieval, and fine-tuning, and defending a deployment to security and legal.

Every module builds toward one running case study: Avelto Rentals, a fictional car rental company with a real database, a legal policy corpus, and a year of support tickets.

In this course, you will:

  • Query a million-token policy corpus in a single call, no vector database

  • Build an evaluation harness before building anything that needs evaluating

  • Build a tool-calling agent with a real MCP server, scored on accuracy

  • Build a vision agent that checks damage photos against a written policy

  • Cover the licensing, security, and compliance a deployment has to clear before it ships

Evaluation comes before the agent-building modules, so the same measurement harness you build early gets reused on progressively harder systems, instead of trusting a demo that only worked once. The closing module treats security, licensing, and compliance as four gates a deployment has to clear, each with its own owner and its own failure mode — the reason a working system and an approved one aren't the same thing.

Who this course is for:

  • Developers and software engineers who want to build a real product on an LLM, not just prompt one in a chat window
  • AI/ML engineers who know the theory and want the production side: evaluation, cost control, deployment
  • Engineering leads and architects deciding whether an open-weight model belongs in their stack
  • Everyone who wants to learn about Kimi K3
