15 models
Kimi K2.7 Code
AvailableMoonshot's open coding-focused agentic model built on K2.6, with native vision/video input, forced thinking mode, and stronger long-horizon software-engineering performance.
Kimi K2.6
AvailableMoonshot's open native multimodal agentic model for long-horizon coding, visual interface generation, and autonomous tool orchestration.
Kimi K2.5
AvailableOpen multimodal Kimi model that adds native visual agentic intelligence, instant and thinking modes, and agent-swarm workflows on top of the K2 base.
Kimi K2 Thinking
AvailableOpen K2 reasoning-agent variant that interleaves step-by-step thinking with tool calls and supports stable 200-300 step tool-use trajectories.
Kimi-Linear-48B-A3B-Instruct
AvailableMIT-licensed hybrid linear-attention model using Kimi Delta Attention, built for million-token contexts with much lower KV-cache usage.
Kimi K2 Instruct 0905
AvailableSeptember 2025 K2 update with stronger agentic coding, better frontend generation, and a doubled 256K context window.
Kimi K2 Instruct
AvailableOriginal open K2 post-trained model: a 1T-parameter MoE optimized for coding, reasoning, and tool-using agentic workflows.
Kimi-VL-A3B-Thinking-2506
AvailableUpdated MIT-licensed Kimi-VL reasoning model with better multimodal reasoning, video understanding, high-resolution perception, and lower thinking-token use.
Kimi-Dev-72B
AvailableMIT-licensed coding LLM trained with repository-level reinforcement learning for software issue resolution.
Kimi-Audio-7B-Instruct
AvailableOpen audio foundation model for audio understanding, generation, speech recognition, audio QA, captioning, and speech conversation.
Kimi-VL-A3B-Instruct
AvailableEfficient MIT-licensed vision-language MoE for OCR, image/video understanding, long documents, and OS-style agent tasks.
Moonlight-16B-A3B-Instruct
AvailableMIT-licensed 16B/3B-active MoE trained with Moonshot's scalable Muon optimizer experiments.
Kimi k1.5
AvailableMoonshot's multimodal reinforcement-learning reasoning model, reported as matching OpenAI o1 on math, coding, and multimodal reasoning.
Kimi 1M
AvailableLong-context Kimi upgrade advertised with support for million-character document and conversation contexts.
Kimi Chat
AvailableMoonshot's first Kimi assistant release, establishing the long-context product line before the open Kimi model cards.
