Kimi K3 (moonshotai/Kimi-K3)	Collection completed. Official compressed release (approx. 420 GiB Q4_K_M) is now on disk at models/moonshotai__Kimi-K3/main.	Internal collection log (scripts/collect_model.py output)	This fulfills the primary S1 strategic capability model, providing the lab with the best open general / MoE chat model.

Lab implications

• Begin evaluation of Kimi K3's performance against internal benchmarks and compare with DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B for general chat and reasoning tasks.
• Continue monitoring for resolution of the HF gate issue preventing collection of Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct.
• Update inventory/catalog/Kimi-K3.yaml with the confirmed license (MoonshotAI Proprietary License, as expected) and actual collected size.
