Kimi K2 is Moonshot AI’s advanced open-source large language model built on a scalable Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture that combines a trillion total parameters with a subset of ~32 billion active parameters to deliver powerful and efficient performance on diverse tasks. It was trained on an enormous corpus of over 15.5 trillion tokens to push frontier capabilities in coding, reasoning, and general agentic tasks while addressing training stability through novel optimizer and architecture design strategies. The model family includes variants like a foundational base model that researchers can fine-tune for specific use cases and an instruct-optimized variant primed for general-purpose chat and agent-style interactions, offering flexibility for both experimentation and deployment. With its high-dimensional attention mechanisms and expert routing, Kimi-K2 excels across benchmarks in live coding, math reasoning, and problem solving.
