Sovereignty and hosting

Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

It takes text and returns text. Moonlight 16B A3B Instruct is published by Moonshot AI as open weights with 16B parameters under MIT. The published configuration records no context window, so this card carries none. The repository was created in February 2025 and is mirrored on Hugging Face. The checkpoint is instruction-tuned and ships a chat template. The card is catalogue-only: LLM EU does not run this model. The publisher states no language coverage on the model page.

    Adequate

      Not verified: the provider has not documented this claim. — a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

      When to use it

      Strengths

      • open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
      • mit licence, so commercial self-hosting is permitted without a separate agreement
      • instruction-tuned checkpoint with a chat template in the repository

      Limits

      • catalogue only — LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
      • no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
      • the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
      • at 16B parameters, self-hosting needs a single accelerator with enough memory for the weights
