How Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 helps AI builders spin up agent swarms easier than ever

Chinese company Moonshot AI upgraded its open-sourced Kimi K2 model, transforming it into a coding and vision model with an architecture that supports an agent swarm orchestration. 

The new model, Moonshot Kimi K2.5, is a good option for enterprises that want agents that can automatically pass off actions instead of having a framework be a central decision-maker.

The company characterized Kimi K2.5 as an “all-in-one model” that supports both visual and text inputs, letting users leverage the model for more visual coding projects.

Moonshot did not publicly disclose K2.5’s parameter count, but the Kimi K2 model that it's based on, had 1 trillion total parameters and 32 billion activated parameters thanks to its mixture-of-experts architecture.

This is the latest open-source model to offer an alternative to the more closed options from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, and it outperforms them on key metrics including agentic workflows ...
