Kimi K2: Open Agentic Intelligence

Kimi K2 is our latest Mixture-of-Experts model with 32 billion activated parameters and 1 trillion total parameters. It achieves state-of-the-art performance in frontier knowledge, math, and coding among non-thinking models. But it goes further — meticulously optimized for agentic tasks, Kimi K2 does not just answer; it acts.

And now, it is within your reach. Today, we are open-sourcing: > * Kimi-K2-Base: The foundation model, a strong start for researchers and builders who want full control for fine-tuning and custom solutions.
