What's the data governance and privacy controls on using Kimi K3 if I subscribe to their coding plans? I want to migrate away from Anthropic

From https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse

Notably, unlike Claude, there is not an opt-out option for the model training part. The TOS explicitly allows Kimi to train on your code.

Simplest way is to signup to OpenRouter and filter out all non ZDR (zero data retention) providers. Paying "API rates" however can prove expensive compared to coding plans (for instance, MiniMax $20/mo coding plan allows 1.7b tokens; depending on input/output/cache ratio, it is worth $200 to $500+), except for Hy3, DeepSeek v4 Pro, and MiMo v2.5 Pro (whose API rates are cheap and/or discounted already).

If you're looking to not have to deal with Chinese providers, AtlasCode ($20/mo), OpenCode Go ($10/mo), and Cline Pass ($10/mo) provide 2x to 6x usage for some of the popular open weights (depending on the model).

Personally, I subscribe to Z.ai ($17/mo), and pay API rates for MiMo v2.5, Hy3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, & DeepSeek v4 to the original providers (Xiaomi, Tencent, Alibaba, & DeepSeek).

Need to wait until "western" providers start hosting it.

  • Fireworks (the author of OP's article) is a western provider based in San Mateo, California

    • Fireworks isn't serving Kimi K3 yet. Presumably, they ran this benchmark against the Moonshot API.

      All of the Western providers with sufficient capacity will be able to make it available when the weights are released Monday.

    • Some people might choose Chinese over US these days. Likely looking for EU location.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but there has not been a "western" provider offering subscription-like plans for open weight models right? Just metered pricing

If you can’t figure it out from their website, perhaps it is a red flag?
