262,144 context · $0.95/M input tokens · $4.00/M output tokens
Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot AI’s open-source native multimodal agentic model, designed for long-horizon coding, coding-driven UI/UX generation, proactive autonomous execution, and multi-agent orchestration. Built on a 1T-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 32B active parameters, it supports text and image inputs, a 262K-token context window, thinking mode, preserve-thinking workflows, function calling, and structured outputs. It is especially strong for complex end-to-end coding tasks across Python, Rust, Go, front-end engineering, DevOps, performance optimization, and agentic workflow automation.
