By Moonshot AI
Kimi-K2-Instruct-0905 is the newer, more capable instruct release in the Kimi K2 family. Moonshot describes it as a state-of-the-art mixture-of-experts model with 1 trillion total parameters and 32 billion active parameters, focused on agentic intelligence and especially coding. It is positioned as the drop-in general-purpose K2 model for builders who want strong chat and agent behavior, with notable emphasis on coding agents and improved frontend code generation, while the separate Thinking model is reserved for deeper deliberate reasoning.
