Kimi K2.6 is an open-weight frontier language model released by Moonshot AI on April 20, 2026, featuring 1 trillion total parameters via a Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 32B parameters activated per token. It targets long-horizon autonomous coding, multimodal input (text, image, video via native MoonViT encoder), and multi-agent orchestration scaling to 300 parallel sub-agents. Weights are freely available on Hugging Face under a Modified MIT License; API access is provided via platform.moonshot.ai with OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoints. On agentic benchmarks such as SWE-Bench Pro (58.6%) and HLE-Full with tools (54.0%), the model reportedly outperforms GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6 per vendor-reported numbers.
