Moonshot AI
Kimi K2.7 Code
Moonshot AI's coding-specialized model — deep thinking-mode reasoning over long agentic sessions, at a fraction of frontier US pricing.
Kimi K2.7 Code is Moonshot AI’s coding-focused release in the Kimi K2 line, built to carry end-to-end programming tasks across long, multi-turn agent sessions rather than one-shot completions.
Why it stands out
- Always-on thinking mode that preserves full reasoning content across multi-turn conversations, instead of resetting context between steps.
- Native multimodal mixture-of-experts architecture, accepting text and image input in the same coding session.
- Frontier-competitive coding benchmarks at a fraction of the per-token cost of comparable Western frontier models.
- Steep cache discount (roughly 80% off cache-miss input pricing), which rewards long, iterative agent loops that keep re-reading the same context.
Good for
Teams running long, agentic coding sessions who want frontier-adjacent reasoning quality without frontier-model pricing.
