Model Card
Kimi K2 Thinking is Moonshot AI's reasoning-enhanced variant of Kimi K2, trained to interleave step-by-step chain-of-thought with dynamic tool calls. It supports up to 200–300 sequential tool calls without drift, enabling deep autonomous research, coding, and analysis workflows.
It achieves 71.3% on SWE-bench Verified, 44.9% on Humanity's Last Exam (with tools), 60.2% on BrowseComp, and 99.1% on AIME 2025 (with Python) — placing it among the top open-source thinking models. It uses native INT4 quantization and a 256K context window.
K2 Thinking is designed for complex, multi-step tasks where extended reasoning and sustained tool orchestration matter more than low-latency responses.

Kimi K2.6
Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot AI's latest open-weight multimodal model, built on a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts architecture with a 256K context window. It excels at agentic coding and long-horizon execution, supporting sustained autonomous workflows with 4,000+ tool calls across languages like Rust, Go, and Python. On key benchmarks, it scores 58.6 on SWE-Bench Pro, 54.0 on HLE with Tools, and 50.0 on Toolathlon — competitive with GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 on coding and agent tasks, though trailing them on pure reasoning. The model accepts text, image, and video input, supports both thinking and non-thinking modes, and offers an OpenAI-compatible API. It's a strong pick for developers building multi-step agentic workflows and complex software engineering pipelines.
ChatKimi K2.5
Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's most capable open-source model, a natively multimodal (vision + text) trillion-parameter MoE with 32B active parameters released in January 2026. Built through continual pretraining on ~15 trillion mixed visual and text tokens atop the K2 base, it supports both thinking and instant modes with a 256K context window. It scored 76.8% on SWE-bench Verified, 96.1% on AIME 2025, and 50.2% on Humanity's Last Exam with tools — outperforming Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 on the latter. Its standout feature is Agent Swarm, which coordinates up to 100 parallel sub-agents for complex tasks. K2.5 excels at vision-to-code generation, frontend development from screenshots, and large-scale agentic workflows, making it a strong choice for developers building multimodal AI agents.
ChatKimi K2 0905
Kimi K2 0905 is Moonshot AI's September 2025 update to the original Kimi K2, delivering enhanced coding performance and improved tool-calling reliability. It shares the same 1-trillion-parameter MoE architecture with 32B active parameters but doubles the context window from 128K to 256K tokens. Key improvements include stronger frontend development capabilities — producing cleaner, more polished UI code for frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular — along with better integration across popular agent scaffolds. It scored 53.7% Pass@1 on LiveCodeBench. This version is ideal for developers who want K2's agentic strengths with improved real-world coding quality and longer context support for large codebases.
