About
Kimi K2.7-Code is Moonshot AI's coding-focused multimodal model released June 12, 2026, built on Kimi K2.6. Uses the same 1-trillion-parameter MoE architecture (32B active parameters, 384 experts with 8 selected per token, 61 layers) with a 262K context window and MoonViT vision encoder (400M parameters). Reports +21.8% on Moonshot's Kimi Code Bench v2, +11.0% on Program Bench, +31.5% on MLS Bench Lite versus K2.6, with approximately 30% fewer reasoning tokens. Forces thinking mode on by default and preserves reasoning content across multi-turn interactions for agentic use. Available via Kimi platform API and HuggingFace under Modified MIT license.
