A primary-source deep dive on **Kimi K2.7-Code**, released June 12, 2026 by Moonshot AI (Beijing). Grounded in the [Hugging Face model card](https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code), [MarkTechPost](https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/06/12/moonshot-ai-releases-kimi-k2-7-code-a-coding-model-reporting-21-8-on-kimi-code-bench-v2-over-k2-6/), and [VentureBeat's skepticism piece](https://venturebeat.com/technology/kimi-k2-7-code-cuts-thinking-tokens-30-practitioners-say-benchmarks-dont-check-out). Covers the 1T-total / 32B-active MoE architecture (384 experts, 8 routed + 1 shared), 256K context, MoonViT ~400M vision encoder, native INT4, forced-on thinking mode. License is **Modified MIT** (attribution required only above 100M MAU or $20M MRR), API pricing is $0.95 input / $0.19 cache-hit / $4.00 output per 1M tokens — roughly **1/18 of Claude Opus 4.8's output price**. OpenAI + Anthropic-compatible endpoints drop straight into Claude Code / Cursor / Aider / Cline / cmux. Moonshot self-reports **+21.8% vs K2.6 on its own Kimi Code Bench v2 and -30% reasoning tokens**, but **all public benchmarks are Moonshot's own proprietary suites; independent SWE-bench Verified / Pro / FrontierCode scores are not yet available as of June 15, 2026** (VentureBeat). For Japanese enterprises the column flags two critical caveats: **(1) both `api.moonshot.cn` and the Singapore-subsidiary-run `api.moonshot.ai` remain exposed to PRC National Intelligence Law Article 7 compelled disclosure (set against Japan's PPC DeepSeek alert of February 3, 2025 and the Digital Agency notice of February 6, 2025), and (2) the only reliable mitigation is Hugging Face self-hosting (~4-8 H100, ~595GB INT4) following the Mizuho / Lion Qwen-on-domestic-infrastructure precedent**.

Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.6 reached general availability on April 21, 2026. Reported benchmarks: SWE-Bench Pro 58.6 and HLE-Full (with tools) 54.0, leading the open-weight class. Available across Kimi.com, the Kimi app, the API, and Kimi Code CLI; weights on Hugging Face under a Modified MIT License. This is a follow-up update to our earlier comprehensive guide.

Kimi K2.6, released by Moonshot AI on April 20, 2026, achieves open-source SOTA with HLE w/tools 54.0 and SWE-Bench Pro 58.6, surpassing GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6. Complete guide covering 13-hour long-horizon coding, 300 parallel agent swarms, and OpenClaw integration.

Kimi K2.5, released by Moonshot AI on January 27, 2026, is a 1 trillion parameter (32B active) MoE model under the MIT License. It scores 76.8% on SWE-bench, 99.0% on HumanEval, and 87.6% on GPQA Diamond. This guide covers its architecture, hardware requirements, Ollama setup, and practical use cases.
