Frequently asked questions about Kimi K2.7 Code
What is Kimi Code and how do I get started?
Kimi Code is an intelligent programming service for developers included in Kimi membership benefits, built on Kimi's latest flagship models. It provides AI-assisted capabilities including code reading, file editing, and command execution through CLI and VS Code extension. To start, install Kimi Code CLI via curl (macOS/Linux) or PowerShell (Windows), then run 'kimi' in terminal. For VS Code, search 'Kimi Code' in Extensions marketplace. Log in using '/login' command for automatic OAuth authentication.
What model does Kimi Code use?
Kimi Code uses K2.7 Code, Moonshot's most capable coding model to date with 256K context window, always-on reasoning, and text/image/video inputs. When calling the API from third-party tools, use model ID 'kimi-for-coding' which is stable and automatically updates to map to the latest backend model without changing client configuration.
How does Kimi Code quota and rate limiting work?
Kimi Code quota refreshes automatically every 7 days from subscription date; unused quota does not carry over. There is a rolling 5-hour frequency window allowing approximately 300-1,200 requests, with up to 30 concurrent requests. Even with sufficient total quota, too many requests in short time triggers rate limiting that recovers after window rolls forward. All logged-in devices and API Keys share the same quota.
What membership tiers include Kimi Code access?
Kimi Code is available on all paid tiers: Moderato includes 1× quota, Allegretto includes 5× quota, Allegro includes 15× quota, and Vivace includes 30× quota. The free Adagio plan has no Kimi Code quota access. Higher tiers provide proportionally larger credit pools supporting more frequent and complex workflows.
How do I integrate Kimi Code into third-party tools?
Obtain an API Key from Kimi Code Console (up to 5 keys per account). Configure the Base URL and API Key in the tool's environment variables. For OpenAI-compatible tools use Base URL 'https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1'. For Anthropic-compatible tools use 'https://api.kimi.com/coding/'. Always set model field to 'kimi-for-coding'. Compatible tools include Claude Code, Roo Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and Hermes.
What is the difference between Kimi Code Platform and Kimi Platform?
Kimi Code Platform is designed specifically for programming scenarios with membership subscription billing (monthly/annual), rate limiting, and best for terminal/IDE Agent programming and multi-file engineering tasks. Base URLs are 'https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1' (OpenAI) or 'https://api.kimi.com/coding/' (Anthropic). Kimi Platform is for product integration, enterprise-level calls, and multimodal application development with pay-as-you-go billing and top-up usage. Base URL is 'https://api.moonshot.cn/v1'.
Can I use Kimi in VS Code and other IDEs?
Yes, Kimi Code for VS Code is available as an extension from the Extensions marketplace. After installation, connect via the login button in the sidebar. Other editors like JetBrains and Zed can connect via CLI's ACP protocol. Note that VS Code extension is currently only open for new installations to legacy Python CLI users; new installations are not supported for TS version CLI users.
What features are included in Kimi Workspace?
The main Kimi workspace includes deep research, AI website builder creating functional sites from descriptions or uploads, AI Slides for polished presentations from text/docs/images/templates, AI Sheets (Excel agent) building spreadsheets with formulas/pivot tables/charts, and AI Docs for Word/PDF creation/conversion/review/bulk processing. All feature agentic capabilities built right in for handling complex tasks.
What is Agent Swarm and when is it available?
Agent Swarm is a beta feature for multi-agent collaboration enabling parallel subtask execution. It's available on Allegretto (50 uses, 4 concurrent subtasks), Allegro (120 uses, 4 concurrent subtasks), and Vivace (240 uses, 8 concurrent subtasks). Moderato and free Adagio plans do not include Agent Swarm access.
How do I check my quota and rate limit status?
Log in to the Kimi Code Console at kimi.com/code, open the Console, and click 'View Quota & Rate Limits' to see current usage and caps. The Console also allows managing API Keys (up to 5 keys), viewing logged-in devices, and checking remaining quota at any time. Devices inactive over 30 days are automatically unbound but can be restored by running '/login' again.
