Updates

Kimi’s official model documentation says the kimi-k2 series will be discontinued on May 25, 2026. For new projects, Kimi recommends the newer kimi-k2.6 model.

Description

Kimi K2 is Moonshot AI’s model family for coding, data analysis, and agentic workflows. The original K2 became known as an open MoE model with 1T total parameters and 32B active parameters, but the current focus has moved to Kimi K2.6.

Kimi K2.6 is built for long engineering tasks, interface generation, document work, visual analysis, and Agent Swarm workflows. If you need the browser chat rather than the model or API angle, start with Kimi instead.

What matters in Kimi K2.6

  • strong focus on coding and multi-step engineering tasks
  • up to 256K context in the current K2.6 line
  • text and image input through a multimodal architecture
  • agent workflows, including coordination across multiple sub-agents
  • access through Kimi.com, the Kimi app, the API, and Kimi Code

Who it is for

Kimi K2 is worth watching for developers, technical teams, and anyone comparing open models for code, search, and analysis. For live model comparisons, use LM Arena; for everyday chatting, use Kimi.
