Kimi K2.5

Moonshot AI · 27 January 2026

Natively multimodal 1T/32B open model trained on about 15T mixed vision-text tokens, with Agent Swarm orchestrating up to 100 parallel sub-agents.

Joint text-vision pretraining plus zero-vision SFT; Agent Swarm trained with parallel-agent RL cuts latency up to 4.5x on parallelizable work. Launched alongside the open-source Kimi Code CLI. Became the base for Cursor's Composer 2.
