Moonshot AI launched Kimi K2.6 on Kimi Chat and APIs, with open weights released as part of the rollout.

The model offers four modes for fast chat, reasoning, agent workflows, and large-scale batch tasks.

Moonshot says K2.6 sets new open-source benchmark results for coding and agentic use cases.

The launch strengthens Moonshot AI’s position in the frontier-model race by pairing broad access with strong performance claims.
