* [00:12 - 00:14] On-screen text announcing "K3" followed by "Kimi K3 open weights."  
* [00:14 - 00:16] Final closing title card displaying the "KIMI" logo.

**Assessment**  
This is an official promotional teaser rather than a technical demonstration; it contains stylized visual effects and graphics rather than live outputs, benchmarks, or interface footage.
