Kimi K3 Is Here. Now Control Who Uses It

Описание: Kimi K3 is the largest open source model released so far, and the moment something like this lands, engineers start pasting API keys into agent configs with no visibility into who is using what.

In this guide we cover what Kimi K3 actually is, why the benchmark results have people paying attention, and how NetBird Agent Network gives your team and your agents access through identity, policies, and cost controls instead of a shared key. We walk through the full self hosted setup: installing with the agent network flag, connecting Kimi as a provider, writing your first policy, attaching budget limits and guardrails, and reading per identity usage logs. We also cover what changes when the weights drop and you start serving K3 yourself, which is nothing.

Agent Network is in beta and self hosted only right now, so feedback genuinely shapes where it goes.
