You have definitely heard of DeepSeek AI, and might have heard of Qwen and their Qwen2.5-Max model. But have you heard of Moonshot AI and their Kimi k1.5 model?

Kimi k1.5 is the latest large language model (LLM) developed by Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI company founded in 2023.

This open-source, multimodal model features an impressive 128K context window, allowing it to process vast amounts of information in a single prompt.

Completely free to use with no restrictions, Kimi k1.5 demonstrates exceptional capabilities in STEM, coding, and general reasoning tasks.

It outperforms notable models like 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜’𝘀 𝗼𝟭 & 𝗼𝟭-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶, as well as Qwen’s QVQ-72B/32B Preview, particularly in areas such as mathematics, coding, and vision-related tasks.

How to access Kimi k1.5?

1. You can use the Kimi model via their chat UI: https://kimi.ai/. It is analogous to ChatGPT, Deepseek Chat or Qwen Chat.

2. The model is open sourced and should be available via hosting options soon…
