Kimi
Kimi is a large language model developed by Chinese AI company Moonshot AI (月之暗面). The model features long-text understanding and generation capabilities, supporting tasks including multi-turn dialogue, document analysis, and coding assistance. An extended context window is among its primary characteristics. Kimi provides services to individual users and developers, and can be integrated into third-party applications and development tools via an API.
Core Facts

Early versions of the Kimi series of models supported a context input of 2 million Chinese characters.
Kimi was developed by Moonshot AI and is known for its ultra-long context processing capabilities.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Domestic open-source models such as Huawei, Kimi, MiniMax, and DeepSeek made a concentrated appearance at this year's Wuzhen conference.
In the blogger's test, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash's output for a 3D model of a foldable phone was better than the same prompt output from Kimi's new model, but the folding animation had a minor issue where it briefly moved out of the frame after clicking.
Kimi's new membership system removed the weekly limit for coding, but all features of the entire membership (Agent, PPT, deep research, Kimi Code) share the same monthly quota pool; the official information only gives multiples: PLUS 2x, PRO 4x, MAX 14x, ULTRA 28x.
The uploader calculated the yearly total by multiplying the annual-payment monthly-equivalent price by 12: for the entry tier, Zhipu, Kimi, and MiniMax are approximately 991, 948, and 490 respectively; for the highest tier, approximately 9055, 6708, and 4690 respectively.
For existing users of Kimi's old packages (such as Andante and Moderato), the official commitment is that the name, benefits, and automatic renewal remain unchanged, and the weekly limit is retained.
Kimi Code is sold bundled with membership; the first tier, GOLD, does not include Kimi Code, so those who want to write code must start from PLUS; the annual PLUS works out to a lower average monthly price than monthly payment; Kimi Code also has a higher-priced Ultra tier.
For monthly entry-tier pricing, the order is Zhipu highest, Kimi in the middle, and MiniMax lowest; the middle tier and the highest tier follow the same order.
The domestic version of Coze has a Chinese interface and can use models such as Doubao, DeepSeek, Kimi and Jieyue Xingchen.
Nathan Lambert points out that China has a large number of API proxies and model proxies with enormous token usage, and there are even cases such as Kimi offering Claude services to users within its product, which makes him keep error bars on the conclusion that "distillation is not a major factor."
Coopanion supports 13 model providers including DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and Claude, and users can switch models by providing an API Key.
