Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905
Kimi K2 Instruct-0905 updates the original Instruct checkpoint. Moonshot extended its context from 128K to 256K and focused the revision on tool-based coding and front-end development.
A changed checkpoint with a longer context
The model card identifies improvements in coding with agents, general coding and the visual quality of generated front-end code. It remains a text generation model: better interface code does not mean that this checkpoint accepts image input.Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905 model card
The coding results include a tool environment
Its coding evaluation documents a modified SWE-agent setup, repeated runs and pruning unreachable Git objects from repositories. These details matter when comparing the published result with another agent framework or with a single attempt.Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905 model card
Keep serving variants separate from model revisions
Kimi K2 attribution is required for commercial products exceeding 100 million monthly users or US$20 million in monthly revenue. The same modified MIT terms apply to the original Instruct and this revision.Kimi K2 Base and Instruct license
Practical guidance. For an API comparison, record the exact endpoint and its model mapping. A faster endpoint can change latency without establishing a new set of trained weights.
