Moonshot's open-weight multimodal generalist with agent swarms
Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's open-weight multimodal model released January 27, 2026. It supports text, image, and video input, thinking and non-thinking modes, and a 256K context window, with strong performance on agent, coding, and vision tasks. Moonshot announced the kimi-k2.5 API will be retired on August 31, 2026, so production workloads should plan a migration path to K2.6 or K3.
Why: Kimi K2.5 was Moonshot's first widely available open-weight multimodal generalist and remains a notable reference point for the K2 family before K2.6 and K3 arrived.
