How to use Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed on Runpod
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed are now available on Runpod Public Endpoints. Here's how to get started with the Playground, curl, and Python.
All
1. Create Network Storage (2TB), Use the CA-MTL-4 region (recommended for now).
2. Spin Up a Pod using Runpod official Pytorch template and mount the network volume you just created, once the pod is running, connect to Jupyter Lab
3. Download the Model
- In the Jupyter terminal, install the Hugging Face CLI and download the model:
4. Launch the Cluster
- Choose Standard Cluster
- Select the network volume you created
- Set Pod Count to 2 (default is 2)
- Pick H200 SXM GPU type
- Select Runpod Pytorch official template
- Click Edit Template and set container disk size to be 2000 GB
- Click Deploy Cluster to launch it.

Gotchas
uv environment on a Network Volume is slow to initialize ray, recommend any python environments be ran on the machine itself instead of on the Network Volume.
