Kimi K3 Pauses New Subscriptions on July 19 as GPU Demand Surges to Capacity Limits

According to Kimi.ai official announcement, Kimi K3 paused new subscriptions on July 19 due to surging demand over the past 48 hours pushing GPU computing capacity near its current limit. The service prioritizes allocating computing resources to existing subscription members, with no impact to their service.

Kimi said it is accelerating capacity expansion and will reopen subscription slots in batches. The company is also splitting its membership system into two tiers: Kimi Membership for Web, App, and Work scenarios, and Kimi Code Membership for code workflow use cases, to better match computing resources.
