Moonshot exposes an Anthropic-compatible endpoint, so pointing Claude Code at K3 means setting the Anthropic base URL and supplying a Moonshot key. No new CLI, no config rewrite. Hosted at $3/$15 per Mtok, same tier as Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Artificial Analysis scores K3 at 57 on its Intelligence Index (4th of 189, comparable to Opus 4.8 at 56). Self-hosting is the catch: paddo.dev pegs required hardware at roughly $550k for an 8-way B300, MI350X or Rubin NVL8 cluster. Open weights is not the same as "you can run it." (Moonshot AI)
