Moonshot AI. Released 12 June 2026.
#1 for interface design · This model accepts text, pictures, and video, allowing it to read up to 1000 pages of information at once. It is designed to handle complex, long-running coding and reasoning tasks. A key feature is its ability to process visual and auditory data alongside written text. However, it is limited to generating text responses and cannot search the internet.
#3 for websites · Kimi K3 reads text, pictures and video and writes text back, taking in about a thousand pages at once. You can download it and run it yourself, and it thinks before it answers. It is built for work inside large code projects: it uses connected tools, finds bugs, and revises its code from screenshots, log files, test results and what happens when the program runs.
#2 for slide decks · Kimi K2.6 reads text and pictures and writes text back, keeping about 256 pages in mind, and it thinks before it answers unless you switch that off for quicker replies. It is aimed at long coding runs across Go, Rust and Python projects and at turning a written description or a mock-up into a working screen, and it can split a job across hundreds of helper copies of itself working side by side.
