MoonshotAI: Kimi K2 0711

moonshotai/kimi-k2

Kimi K2 Instruct is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model developed by Moonshot AI, featuring 1 trillion total parameters with 32 billion active per forward pass. It is optimized for agentic capabilities, including advanced tool use, reasoning, and code synthesis. Kimi K2 excels across a broad range of benchmarks, particularly in coding (LiveCodeBench, SWE-bench), reasoning (ZebraLogic, GPQA), and tool-use (Tau2, AceBench) tasks. It supports long-context inference up to 128K tokens and is designed with a novel training stack that includes the MuonClip optimizer for stable large-scale MoE training.

Providers

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.

Effective Pricing

The chart below shows the average price customers are actually paying after prompt caching. Depending on the amount of repeated context you send, this can be 60–80% cheaper than the provider list price. Shown are rolling averages from the past 30 days.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Percent of requests that succeeded over the last 30 days. OpenRouter monitors every provider continuously and automatically retries on the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Benchmarks

Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
