Kimi Code - AI-Powered Code Generation & Analysis

What is Kimi Code?

Kimi Code refers to the suite of coding capabilities powered by the Kimi large language models from Moonshot AI. Unlike single-purpose coding tools, Kimi Code covers the entire software development lifecycle: from generating new code from scratch, to debugging existing issues, reviewing pull requests, explaining complex logic, and refactoring legacy codebases.

What sets Kimi Code apart is its massive 200K-token context window. This means you can feed entire repositories, large configuration files, or long conversation histories into a single prompt and get coherent, context-aware responses. No more splitting files or losing context mid-conversation.

Whether you're a solo developer looking for an AI pair programmer, a team lead reviewing code quality, or a student learning to code, Kimi Code adapts to your needs with multilingual support and deep technical understanding.

Kimi Code Features

Kimi Code via API

Access Kimi Code capabilities programmatically through the Kimi API. The API is fully compatible with the OpenAI Chat Completions format, so you can integrate it with existing tools and workflows with minimal code changes.

Python Example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://kimi-api.com/v1",  # Our proxy - 40% off
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="moonshot-v1-128k",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "system",
            "content": "You are an expert programmer. Generate clean, "
                       "well-documented code with error handling."
