Kimi K3 is the world's first open 3T-class model — frontier performance across coding, knowledge work, and reasoning, with native multimodality and 1M context.
Kimi K2.6 launched last week on Product Hunt, 4 days after @Claude by Anthropic Opus 4.7.
How do they really compare? The @Kilo Code team ran the comparison. They gave both models the same workflow orchestration spec and reviewed the code. Here's what review turned up.
Kimi K2.7 Code is Moonshot AI’s latest coding-focused agentic model, built for long-horizon software engineering, 256K context, multi-step tool use, multimodal inputs, and around 30% lower reasoning-token usage than K2.6. Available in Kimi Code, Kimi API, and as open weights/code.
Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot’s latest open-source model, built to push coding, long-horizon execution, and agent swarms forward at the same time. It brings stronger end-to-end coding, 300-agent swarm orchestration, and improved reliability for always-on agent frameworks like OpenClaw and Hermes.
Kimi Work is a desktop agent for knowledge work. It connects to local files, uses WebBridge for browser automation, runs scheduled tasks, coordinates agent swarms, creates PPT/Excel/Word/PDF outputs, and includes native finance data tools.

Kimi K2 by Moonshot AI is a new 1T parameter open-source MoE model (32B active). It delivers state-of-the-art performance on coding, reasoning, and agentic tasks. Base and Instruct models are now available.
Kimi K2.5 is Kimi's most intelligent model to date, achieving open-source SoTA performance in Agent, code, visual understanding, and a range of general intelligent tasks. It is also Kimi's most versatile model to date, featuring a native multimodal architecture that supports both visual and text input, thinking and non-thinking modes, and dialogue and Agent tasks.
