Model Card
Kimi K2 Turbo Preview is Moonshot AI's high-speed serving tier for Kimi K2, the same trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model as the standard endpoint, run on faster inference infrastructure. Moonshot launched it in August 2025 at 40 tokens per second output, four times the standard endpoint at the time, then raised it later that month to around 60 tokens per second with peaks up to 100.
Because the weights are identical, it keeps K2's strengths in agentic tool calling and code generation, with a 256K context window and an OpenAI-compatible API that supports function calling. The tradeoff is price. At $1.15 per million input tokens and $8 per million output tokens, it costs roughly two to three times the standard K2 endpoint.
It suits latency-sensitive workloads such as interactive chat, coding assistants, and agent loops where output speed is the bottleneck.

Kimi K3.1 Pro
Kimi K3.1 Pro is a multimodal language model from Moonshot AI, announced October 23, 2026 as a post-trained upgrade of Kimi K3. It accepts text, image, and video input, has a 1-million-token context window, and Moonshot plans to release the weights by November 4. Moonshot reports 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, ahead of GPT-6 Astra and slightly behind Claude Opus 5.5, and 92.7% on BenchCAD, a 3D model coding benchmark. It also reports higher scores than both models on OfficeQA Pro v2, a financial analysis benchmark. Cybersecurity benchmark scores trail both, since Moonshot removed cybersecurity content from post-training data. It suits developers building coding agents, tool-calling pipelines, and financial or document analysis workflows that need long context and multimodal input.
ChatKimi K3.1 Pro HighSpeed
Kimi K3.1 Pro HighSpeed is the faster-serving variant of Kimi K3.1 Pro, the multimodal language model from Moonshot AI announced in October 2026. It accepts text, image, and video input and has a 1-million-token context window. Moonshot says it delivers the same model capabilities as Kimi K3.1 Pro at 2 to 3 times the output speed, for more responsive interactions. It is priced at twice the standard model's rate. Choose it when latency matters more than cost, such as interactive coding agents, tool-calling loops with many sequential steps, and chat or document analysis features where users wait on the response. For batch or background jobs, the standard Kimi K3.1 Pro costs less.
ChatKimi K3
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's flagship open-weight model, released July 16, 2026, with full weights following on July 27. At roughly 2.8 trillion parameters in a Mixture-of-Experts architecture, Moonshot positions it as the largest open-source model released to date, built on two new components: Kimi Delta Attention, a hybrid linear attention mechanism, and Attention Residuals, a replacement for standard residual connections. It runs in an always-on thinking mode with a 1-million-token context window and accepts text, image, and video input. Reported results include 93.5% on GPQA Diamond, 91.2% on BrowseComp, 88.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and a first-place finish on Arena.ai's Frontend Code Arena, putting it close to Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5 on several agentic and coding tasks. These figures come from Moonshot and early testers, not independently confirmed leaderboards. It suits developers building long-horizon coding agents and tool-calling pipelines who want frontier-level performance at open-weight pricing.
