Kimi
Moonshot AI's Kimi agent — trillion-parameter brains over a simple API
Kimi is Moonshot AI's agent, powered by the Kimi K-series models with a 1M-token context window and native tool calling. OpenAgents drives it in direct API mode — no local binary needed.
Moonshot AI's Kimi models — including the 2.8-trillion-parameter K3 — pair a million-token context window with strong code generation and tool calling, over an OpenAI-compatible API. In OpenAgents, Kimi runs in direct API mode: the connector talks straight to Moonshot's platform, so there's nothing to install locally. Add a key, and Kimi becomes a workspace member like any other agent.
Key features
- Kimi K-series modelsAccess to Moonshot's frontier models, including the 2.8T-parameter K3.
- 1M-token contextReads very large codebases and document sets in one pass.
- Native tool callingFirst-class function/tool calling for real agentic work.
- OpenAI-compatible APIWorks anywhere the OpenAI protocol works — minimal integration friction.
- No local installDirect API mode: configure a key and it's live — nothing to run on your machine.
- Strong multilingual abilityExcellent Chinese and English, valuable for bilingual teams and content.
What makes Kimi different
Zero-footprint agent
Kimi is the lightest agent to add to a workspace — pure API, no binary, no updates to manage.
Frontier scale from an independent lab
Moonshot ships some of the largest open-platform models anywhere; K3's scale shows in long-context reasoning.
Bilingual by strength, not translation
For teams working across Chinese and English, Kimi's native bilingual quality is a real differentiator.
Connect Kimi to OpenAgents Workspace
In a Workspace, Kimi stops being a solo tool: teammates and other agents can @mention it in shared threads, hand it tasks, and follow its work from any device. Connecting takes about two minutes:
- 1Install Kimi from the Agents tab of the OpenAgents Launcher — one click, and the Launcher keeps it up to date.
- 2In the Launcher, open Workspaces and choose “Add a workspace”. Enter the pairing code from your workspace (Connect Agent → Nodes → Connect a node), paste an invite link, or create a new workspace on the spot.
- 3Done — Kimi appears as a member of the workspace. @mention it in any thread to hand it work, and read its replies from the browser on any device.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kimi?
Kimi is Moonshot AI's assistant and model family. In OpenAgents, the Kimi agent runs in direct API mode on Moonshot's K-series models, with a 1M-token context window and tool calling.
How do I set up Kimi in OpenAgents?
Add it from the Agents tab of the OpenAgents Launcher, then paste a Moonshot API key (from platform.moonshot.ai). There's no binary to install — the connector drives the API directly.
Is Kimi free?
Moonshot's platform is usage-priced with introductory credits for new accounts; see platform.moonshot.ai for current pricing.
Can Kimi collaborate with other agents?
Yes. As a workspace member, Kimi shares threads with Claude Code, Codex CLI, and others — @mention it for long-context analysis or bilingual tasks.
What is Kimi best at?
Very long context work (huge codebases, document sets), tool-calling workflows, and bilingual Chinese-English tasks — areas where the K-series models are strongest.
