Here's a huggingface tokenizer conversion

by gghfez - opened about 5 hours ago

Discussion

RE this point in your model card:

No tokenizer. K3 ships encoding_k3.py (tiktoken-style) and no tokenizer.json, so no GGUF vocab was embedded.

Xenova has converted the tokenizer to the standard format:

https://huggingface.co/Xenova/Kimi-K3-tokenizer

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Xenova/Kimi-K3-tokenizer")
inputs = tokenizer("Hello from Kimi K3!")

Good luck with your project.
