Running Kimi K3 in C: Local AI Inference on 8GB RAM
Developer FareedKhan recently set out to execute the formidable Kimi K3 model on consumer-grade hardware. Typically, running a model of this magnitude locally proves entirely impossible for standard devices. However, the developer engineered a pure C99 inference engine to achieve local execution. At peak performance, the system processes output at 20 seconds per token. Conversely, under a restricted 8GB memory footprint, the speed drops to 33 seconds per token.
