Kimi Code

Kimi Code is an AI coding agent built by Moonshot AI that runs in your terminal, desktop, or VS Code. It reads and edits code, executes shell commands, searches files, and fetches web pages, making decisions based on feedback. The service uses Kimi's K3 flagship model with support for up to 1 million tokens of context, enabling analysis of large codebases and cross-module dependencies.

Developers can use Kimi Code through official clients (Desktop, CLI, VS Code extension) or integrate it into third-party tools via API. The CLI is distributed as a single binary with no Node.js dependency, starts in milliseconds, and supports video input for visual reference tasks. It includes AI-native Model Context Protocol configuration and a plugin ecosystem for skills and data sources.
