Kimi K2.7 Code API

About Kimi K2.7 Code

Kimi K2.7 Code is Moonshot's trillion-parameter agentic coding model with 256K context, always-on reasoning, and text, image, and video inputs.

Supports text, image, and video inputs, function calling, JSON mode structured output, and built-in web search billed at $0.015 per invoked call. Thinking is always on and reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens. Temperature and other sampling overrides are ignored because the model service uses fixed sampling settings. Multi-step function calling must replay the assistant message with its reasoning_content field intact. Explicit cache controls, batches, and fine-tuning are not supported.

Also known as Moonshot AI Kimi K2.7 Code, Kimi-K2.7-Code, kimi-k2-7-code
