Kimi launches K3.1 Pro: start a rough 3D model from a simple idea

On October 24, 2026, Kimi released K3.1 Pro and announced that 3D Make was available on the Kimi website and mobile app. Alongside Kimi's existing question answering, file handling and coding, the update offers a place to preview and edit 3D creations online. Users can start with text, a sketch or a reference image, generate a 3D model, and download it or export content such as a video. See the official announcement.

The capability evaluations in the announcement come from the vendor and do not establish the quality of every individual result. There is a separate plan for developers: the full K3.1 Pro weights—the parameter files needed to run the AI model—are scheduled for release by November 4. Those files are different from the 3D creations users can already download through 3D Make.

Suppose you want to make a desktop pen holder. “Rounder” or “shorter” may be hard for someone else to picture. A rough model that can be viewed from different angles gives you an object on which to point out the opening, base and decorations. This is a suggested scenario, not a printing test.

For example, use the first round to establish a short cylinder, a wide base and no small decorations. In the second round, ask for a larger opening. Each round then concerns something visible. Even if a model can be downloaded, its dimensions, thickness and joints still need checking. Before physical production, ask someone familiar with the relevant process to assess it.

The announcement confirms availability on the Kimi website and mobile app. Enterprise accounts need an administrator to enable K3.1 Pro; it is off by default. Public material does not give a universal allowance or a complete button path for every account, so use the 3D Make entry shown in your account.

1. Prepare a small goal. Open the website or update the mobile app and look for 3D Make. Start with an object without complex moving parts. Describe its shape and purpose; if you supply a reference image, say which parts to preserve.
2. Give observable requirements. A suggested prompt is: “Make a short cylindrical pen holder with a slightly wider base and an open top. Add no text or small decorations. Let me check the overall proportions first.” These are requested properties; the output still needs inspection.
3. Preview and change one thing at a time. Look from several angles. Check that the opening exists and the base joins the body, then request a clear change such as “Keep the base and lower the cylinder.” If the result no longer serves the purpose, return to a simple shape and adjust it.
4. Keep the result in a suitable form. To discuss appearance, use the video export mentioned in the announcement. For printing, inspect the model-download options and perform the necessary production checks. The announcement does not list every format, so do not assume that a particular engineering file is available.
