#33921 [Feat]: Add native API support for Kimi K3 (Moonshot AI), Inkling, and Tinker platform
### Feature Request Description We need native, first-class support in LiteLLM for three recently released models and training/inference platforms to use them seamlessly within our pipelines (Python SDK & Proxy server): 1. **Kimi K3** (Moonshot AI) 2. **Inkling** (Thinking Machines Lab) 3. **Tinker Platform** (Thinking Machines Lab)
Currently, these models require raw OpenAI-compatible custom configurations. Adding native mappings will vastly simplify routing, accurate cost tracking, and specialized parameters (like Kimi K3's reasoning token management).
### Requested Mappings & API Specs
#### 1. Kimi K3 (Moonshot AI) - **Model Identifier:** `moonshot/kimi-k3` - **Base URL:** `https://moonshot.ai` - **Key Specs:** 2.8T Mixture-of-Experts, 1M context window, native vision input, and automatic context caching. - **Special Feature:** Support for the new `thinking_effort` parameter (`Standard`, `High`, `Max`) mapping, which dictates the reasoning tokens budget.
#### 2. Inkling (Thinking Machines Lab) - **Model Identifiers:** `together_ai/thinkingmachines/inkling`, `inkling` (for native engines like vLLM / SGLang) - **Key Specs:** 975B MoE frontier model, native multimodal handling …
