Kimi Code is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent from Moonshot AI, released under the Apache 2.0 license. It is powered by Kimi K2.5, a 1 trillion parameter mixture-of-experts model that activates only 32 billion parameters per request, balancing frontier performance with cost efficiency. The 256K context window exceeds most competitors, making it strong for long-document analysis and large codebase understanding. Agent Swarm coordinates up to 100 parallel sub-agents, cutting execution time by 4.5x on parallelizable tasks. API pricing at $0.60/$2.50 per million tokens undercuts GPT-5 by 4-17x and Claude Sonnet by 5-6x. The fact that Cursor built its Composer 2 on top of Kimi K2.5 is significant validation of the underlying model quality.
