At a glance

Kimi is an AI assistant made by China's Moonshot AI. It offers long-document analysis, deep research, Agent Swarm (which runs many agents at once), the coding tool Kimi Code and more. Kimi K3 (2.8T total parameters), released in July 2026, is among the largest open-weight models. It suits people who want to hand off agent/coding work cheaply, and developers looking for a large open model.

Note: As of the official help page on 2026-10-19, the current plan names are Go ¥49 / Plus ¥99 / Pro ¥199 / Max ¥699 (monthly billing), and Andante / Moderato / Allegretto / Allegro are classified as previous (legacy) plans. Whether the usage limits of the new plans match the old ones needs checking. The official prices show only yuan, and there is no official USD price (the overseas-only Vivace is mentioned by name only). The ≈ figures are reference conversions at $1 = ¥6.69 (exchange rate of 2026-10-09) and are not actual charges. The "overseas reports" USD prices come from a third-party source as of July 2026, and because new paid sign-ups were once paused temporarily in July 2026 due to a surge in demand, current availability and prices need checking.

Which plan to choose

  • Adagio (Free): People who want to try long-document summaries or general chat for free.
  • Moderato: Individuals who use K3 and agent features (research/website building/document work) a few dozen times a month.
  • Allegretto: Power users who often code with Kimi Code or hand big research tasks to Agent Swarm.
  • Allegro / Vivace: Professionals/solo founders who run several agents in parallel every day. If you need 1,000,000 token chats, choose Allegro or above.
  • API: Developers who want K3-class performance for less than US flagships. For coding agents, k2.7-code offers good value.
  • Open weights: Companies/research institutes with large GPU clusters. K3 needs about 1.4TB or more of memory to run.
