Moonshot introduces Kimi K2.6, an open-weight model that it says shows strong improvements in long-horizon coding tasks, available under a modified MIT License

We are open sourcing our latest model, Kimi K2.6, featuring state-of-the-art coding, long-horizon execution, and agent swarm capabilities.

    Meet Kimi K2.6: Advancing Open-Source Coding 🔹Open-source SOTA on HLE w/ tools (54.0), SWE-Bench Pro (58.6), SWE-bench Multilingual (76.7), BrowseComp (83.2), Toolathlon (50.0), Charxiv w/ python(86.7), Math Vision w/ python (93.2) What's new: 🔹Long-horizon coding - 4,000+ [image…

    dear god lol - new kimi model is a fucking beast. GPT 5.4 level coding, 76% cheaper than opus 4.7 and 100% open source / free to use, i mean look at this: > kimi k2.6 can code continuously for 12 hours straight, run 300+ agents in parallel from a SINGLE prompt. how the fuck

    I'm not usually a fan of OSS models, but this new Kimi release looks pretty great (on the surface) and is priced extremely well. I plan to try it later today... how has it been so far for you? [image]
  • @dhh @dhh on x
    I've been a K2.5 superfan since it came out. These new numbers for the next version look incredible. You gotta love competition!
  • @eliebakouch Elie on x
    kimi K2.6 vs K2.5, mythos, opus 4.7, and cursor composer 2 (based on K2.5) on every benchmark i could find tl;dr: it's a really really good model [image]
  • @huggingface @huggingface on x
    new open coding sota 🤗
  • @kimmonismus @kimmonismus on x
    Holy smokes, “state-of-the-art results on several coding and tool-use benchmarks” Open Source! Kimi is cooking! -54% HLE w tools -58.6% SWE Bench Pro -66.7% Terminal Bench tl;dr Moonshot AI released Kimi K2.6, an open-source model claiming state-of-the-art results on several [ima…

    BTW, I vibe coded this LLM inference engine example in the official blog using Kimi K2.6 on my laptop😘. I choose to use zig, not because it is easy, but because it is hard. I've never written any zig and metal code in my entire life, and I can just build whatever I imagine [image…

    Heads up The price has gone up. 2.6: $0.95 in / $4.00 out 2.5: $0.60 in / $3.00 out [image]
  • @nrehiew_ @nrehiew_ on x
    Kimi K2.6 wrote an inference engine for Qwen3.5 0.5B in Zig and managed to beat LM Studio's token per second by 20%, running for 12 hours and with 4000+ tool calls [image]
  • @yuchenj_uw Yuchen Jin on x
    Kimi K2.6 is open-source! Open-source SOTA: - SWE-Bench Pro: 58.6 - beats GPT-5.4 (xhigh) and Claude Opus 4.6 (max effort) I realize Kimi is shipping faster and faster. An S-tier open-source model team. Keep the open-source vs. closed-source AI gap at 6 months! 💪 [image]
  • @vllm_project @vllm_project on x
    🎉 Congrats to the Moonshot team on Kimi K2.6 — day-0 support on vLLM 0.19.1. • 1T total / 32B active MoE — 384 experts, 8 routed + 1 shared • MLA attention, 256K context • Native multimodal: MoonViT vision encoder + video input • Native INT4 quantization • Interleaved [image]
  • @synthwavedd Leo on x
    can't help but notice every new chinese model's benchmark visuals seem to compare to previous generations opus 4.7 conspicuously absent.. lol [image]

    Kimi K2.6, let's goooooooo🥳 Open-source SOTA on HLE w/ tools (54.0), SWE-Bench Pro (58.6), SWE-bench Multilingual (76.7), BrowseComp (83.2), Toolathlon (50.0), Charxiv w/ python(86.7), Math Vision w/ python (93.2)

    lmao qwen is comparing against opus 4.5 because they know it is the better opus
  • r/singularity r on reddit
    Kimi 2.6 has been released
  • @hesamation @hesamation on x
    this part of the KIMI K2.6 launch blog is insane: > it deployed Qwen3.5-0.8B model locally on a Mac. > coded and optimized its inference in Zig > (never knew you could do that) > improved throughput from ~15 to ~193 tokens/sec > made it 20% faster than LM Studio > did 4,000+ [ima…
  • @chatgpt21 Chris on x
    Not comparing this against Opus 4.7.. is kinda chicken of them Nonetheless an Open Source model scoring 58.6 on SWE PRO is the highest we've ever seen [image]
  • @sammcallister Sam Mcallister on x
    @johnbuilds This doesn't make any sense? Ant has never pushed “European style” regulation. We've called for safety testing and transparency for frontier labs, plus strong export and distillation controls to help maintain the US advantage. Re: Kimi in particular: https://www.anthr…
  • @johnbuilds John Shahawy on x
    the anthropic lobbyist argument should be discarded and laughed at. china open source models are within spitting distance of anthropic (according to evals). we need to accelerate not apply europe style regulation to our innovators
  • @sundeep Sunny Madra on x
    Impressive results on SWE-Bench [image]
  • @casper_hansen_ Casper Hansen on x
    kimi k2.6 matches opus 4.6 in benchmarks and licensing didn't change, same modified-mit open-source license! this looks like a big upgrade for long-horizon agents!

    life when you discover an open-source model that runs 300 parallel agents, executes for 12+ hours straight, beats GPT-5.4 and opus 4.6 on multiple benchmarks... and the weights are on huggingface [video]
