Chinese AI Tools

Kimi models, API and agent workspace

A source-backed map of Kimi K3, K2.7 Code, the Kimi API, Kimi Code, Kimi Claw, WebBridge and productivity creation surfaces.

Short answer

Where should you start?

Use Kimi.com for the assistant and workspace, K3 for frontier long-horizon and native-vision work, K2.7 Code for coding-focused agent runs, Kimi Code for the coding runtime, and Kimi Claw only when its hosted personal-agent boundary matches the task.

Ownership boundary

Kimi, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, Kimi Claw and the Kimi API are Moonshot AI surfaces, but consumer subscriptions, API balances and coding-agent access are separate products with different limits and data paths.

Tracked products

Moonshot AI

Kimi

4.5

Kimi has shifted from a long-context assistant profile into a broader AI workspace and agent ecosystem, so the site should track both user-facing features and the Kimi API platform.

Best fit · Users and teams evaluating a Chinese AI assistant for long documents, deep research, presentations, sites, spreadsheets and agentic work.

Moonshot AI

Kimi K3

4.5

Kimi K3 merits a separate LLM & API profile because it is a flagship model with its own architecture, context length, hosted pricing and public open-weight release, rather than a minor K2.7 Code revision.

Best fit · Teams evaluating a frontier-scale Chinese model for repository-scale coding, multimodal technical work, agentic research and long-context knowledge workflows.

Moonshot AI

Kimi K2 API

4.4

Kimi's developer path is separated through K2.7 Code, K2.6 and the English API platform, so it should be distinct from the consumer assistant and Kimi Code CLI.

Best fit · Developers evaluating Chinese long-context, coding and agentic models through an international API.

Moonshot AI

Kimi K2.7 Code

4.7

K2.7 Code has its own open weights, architecture, benchmarks, API pricing and Kimi Code default-model behavior, so it deserves a dedicated model profile separate from Kimi Code and the broader Kimi API.

Best fit · Teams evaluating open-weight coding models for repository-scale agents, Kimi Code workflows or OpenAI-compatible API integration.

Kimi Code

4.7

The public repository confirms that Kimi Code is an installable MIT-licensed agent platform, while the K2.7 Code resource confirms its current default hosted coding model.

Best fit · Developers who want a fast open terminal agent with multimodal coding context, parallel subagents and editor integration.

Moonshot AI

Kimi Claw

3.9

Kimi Claw changes the product from chat to action, so it needs a separate risk and use-case profile.

Moonshot AI

Kimi WebBridge

4.1

Kimi WebBridge is a distinct local-browser bridge in the Kimi agent ecosystem, so it deserves its own evaluation profile separate from Kimi chat, Kimi Code and Kimi Claw.

Best fit · Teams evaluating local browser automation for AI agents that need existing login sessions without moving page content to a cloud browser.

Kimi Slides / Websites / Sheets / Docs

4.0

Kimi's visible product surface now includes concrete artifact workflows, which changes how overseas users should evaluate it.

Best fit · Users evaluating Kimi as an office-style AI workspace rather than only a chat assistant.
