Human record

Overview

Kimi is Moonshot AI’s consumer and productivity AI system across kimi.com, Kimi Work, Kimi Code and API surfaces. The model line advanced rapidly through K2-series releases and reached Kimi K3 in July 2026, a 2.8-trillion-parameter natively multimodal model with a one-million-token context window aimed at long-horizon coding, reasoning and knowledge work.

Capabilities

Long-context conversational reasoningCoding and long-horizon engineering tasksNative multimodal/vision understanding through current Kimi modelsFile, spreadsheet and slide-oriented work in supported Kimi productsAgentic task execution and sub-agent workflowsKimi Code developer workflowsAPI access to supported Kimi models

Known limitations

Model and effort-level availability varies by Kimi plan and surface.Large-context and agentic tasks can consume substantial compute/usage quotas.Open model weights and hosted product behavior are not identical deployment contexts.Outputs require validation for high-stakes work.
Technical and structured detail

Technical description

Structured current-state record for the Kimi product layer. Current Kimi surfaces combine Moonshot’s large-model family with coding, file, work and agentic workflows. Kimi K3 uses a sparse MoE design with Kimi Delta Attention and Attention Residuals, native vision and long context; the assistant’s exact model and feature availability depend on plan and surface.
