    About this model

    Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot AI's latest and most intelligent model, with stronger and more stable long-horizon code generation, significantly improved instruction following and self-correction. It features a native multimodal architecture supporting text, image, and video input, thinking and non-thinking modes, and both dialogue and agent tasks. Supports automatic context caching, ToolCalls, JSON Mode, Partial Mode, and internet search.

    Best suited for

    • Long-horizon agentic task execution and self-correction
    • Stable, high-performance code generation, debugging, and refactoring
    • Long-context workflows up to 256K tokens with deep reasoning
    • Multimodal workflows (text + image + video inputs)
    • Complex research, data analysis, and information synthesis
    • Tool-calling agents with JSON/structured outputs
    • Internet-search-augmented question answering
