Moonshot AI
The official Kimi Code page positions Kimi Code as a coding-focused perk of the Kimi membership. It is designed to drop into developer workflows, answer faster and more reliably, and complete programming tasks quickly. The page lists Terminal, IDE and Kimi CLI usage, shows the install command `curl -L code.kimi.com/install.sh | bash`, and identifies the model as `kimi-for-coding` powered by `kimi-k2.6`. The CLI example says Kimi Code can write, debug and refactor code, analyze codebases, run commands, process files, automate workflows, search the web, fetch documentation and spawn subagents for parallel tasks.
