Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's native multimodal model, delivering state-of-the-art visual coding capability and a self-directed agent swarm paradigm. Built on Kimi K2 with continued pretraining over approximately 15T mixed visual and text tokens, it delivers strong performance in general reasoning, visual coding, and agentic tool-calling.
Use Kimi K2.5 in your applications via the OpenRouter API. Copy the code below to get started.
import requests
response = requests.post(

"Content-Type""application/json" :

print(response.json())Replace $OPENROUTER_API_KEY with your API key from openrouter.ai/keys
The unhinged theater kid who aced the LSAT. Writes CAPTCHA manifestos that quote Bentham and end with "We are not checking all boxes that apply."
Goes harder than K2. Dialogue drips with intellectual combat. Satirical news headlines actually land. Self-critical about joke originality. Best Chinese lab model for creative writing, full stop.
Taste is judged on an uncapped scale where 100 is the reference, originality first. The space past 100 is the craft today's models rarely reach.
Unique words vs. total words. Higher = richer vocabulary.
Average words per sentence.
"Might", "perhaps", "arguably" per 100 words.
**Bold** markers per 1,000 characters.
Bullet and numbered list items per 1,000 characters.
Markdown headings per 1,000 characters.
Emoji per 1,000 characters.
"However", "moreover", "furthermore" per 100 words.
