Kimi K2.5
Kimi K2.5 is a text generation model from Moonshot AI with a 262,144-token context window and up to 16,384-token responses.
Long-context text generation from Moonshot AI
Kimi K2.5 is a large language model developed by Moonshot AI, released in January 2026 under the full model identifier moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5. It is a chat-oriented text generation model served through DeepInfra and is designed to handle long-form inputs, supporting a context window of 262,144 tokens — one of the larger context sizes available among publicly accessible models. This makes it well-suited for tasks that require processing or generating content across lengthy documents, codebases, or multi-turn conversations.
Kimi K2.5 is built for general-purpose text generation tasks including reasoning, summarization, coding assistance, and extended dialogue. Its maximum response size of 16,384 tokens allows for detailed, long-form outputs in a single generation. The model is accessible on MindStudio without requiring separate API key configuration, making it straightforward to integrate into AI-powered workflows and applications.
What Kimi K2.5 supports
Long Context Window
Processes inputs up to 262,144 tokens, enabling analysis of lengthy documents, large codebases, or extended conversation histories in a single pass.

Who developed Kimi K2.5 and when was it released?
Kimi K2.5 was developed by Moonshot AI and released in January 2026. It is available under the model identifier moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5.
Does Kimi K2.5 support image or video inputs?
Based on available metadata, Kimi K2.5 is a text-only model. Image and video analysis support is not indicated for this version.
What is the pricing for using Kimi K2.5 on MindStudio?
Pricing information for Kimi K2.5 is not published in the current metadata. You can check MindStudio's pricing page or your account dashboard for the latest usage costs.
What is the knowledge cutoff date for Kimi K2.5?
A specific knowledge cutoff date is not listed in the available metadata for Kimi K2.5. Given its January 2026 release date, its training data likely extends into late 2025, but this has not been officially confirmed in the provided information.
What people think about Kimi K2.5
Community discussions reflect positive sentiment toward Kimi K2.5's benchmark performance, with one thread noting that it scores in territory previously occupied only by proprietary models as of February 2026. Practical evaluations, including an informal multi-model comparison involving real-world business scenarios, placed it among a small group of models that performed reliably.
Some community interest centers on how models like Kimi K2.5 handle ambiguous or nonsensical prompts, as a dedicated benchmark thread explored whether models push back appropriately rather than generating confident but incorrect answers. No major reliability or safety concerns specific to Kimi K2.5 were surfaced in the threads reviewed.
Open-source LLMs are now within single digits of proprietary models on most benchmarks. February 2026 rankings show GLM-5, Kimi K2.5, and DeepSeek V3.2 all scoring in what was frontier-only territory a year ago.
I gave 12 LLMs $2,000 and a food truck. Only 4 survived.
