Summary
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 launched on AWS Bedrock on September 18, 2026, but the three required catalog entries are missing from model_list.json. The catalog already has the predecessor moonshotai.kimi-k2.5 (line ~9447) with the same Bedrock naming convention, confirming the pattern.

}
Geo variants (us.moonshotai.kimi-k3, global.moonshotai.kimi-k3) should follow the same pattern as other Bedrock geo entries, with parent: "moonshotai.kimi-k3".
Notes:
multimodal: true — accepts text and image input, outputs text
- Pricing is from Global CRIS (cross-region inference) tier: $3.00 input / $15.00 output / $0.30 cache read / $3.75 cache write per 1M tokens
max_output_tokens not listed on the model card — verify from the API or set consistent with K2.5's 16384
reasoning field: not indicated on the model card; omit unless confirmed
Template
Use moonshotai.kimi-k2.5 (line ~9447) as a structural template. Key differences:
- Higher pricing ($3.00/$15.00 vs $0.60/$3.00)
- Larger context (1M vs 256K)
- Add cache pricing fields (
input_cache_read_cost_per_mil_tokens, input_cache_write_cost_per_mil_tokens)
- No
reasoning: true unless confirmed
