Moonshot AI unveiled Kimi K2 Thinking, a trillion‑parameter Mixture‑of‑Experts model that activates 32 billion parameters per inference and is released under a modified MIT license on Hugging Face. In third‑party benchmarks it posted 44.9% on Humanity’s Last Exam, 60.2% on BrowseComp, 71.3% on SWE‑Bench Verified and 83.1% on LiveCodeBench v6, outpacing OpenAI’s GPT‑5, Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 and xAI’s Grok‑4. The model is freely accessible via Moonshot’s platform and APIs, with usage priced at $0.15‑$2.50 per million tokens, far below proprietary alternatives. Its open‑weight release marks the first time an open‑source system has overtaken leading closed models on high‑end reasoning and coding tasks.
AI agents are getting better at looking at different types of data in businesses to spot patterns and create value. This is making data silos increasingly painful. This is why I increasingly try to select software that lets me control...
