Kimi K2 7011 Instruct is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model developed by Moonshot AI, featuring 1 trillion parameters with 32B active per forward pass. Optimized for agentic tasks, it delivers advanced capabilities in reasoning, tool use, and code synthesis. The model achieves strong results across benchmarks, excelling in coding (LiveCodeBench, SWE-bench), reasoning (ZebraLogic, GPQA), and tool-use (Tau2, AceBench). With support for long-context inference up to 128K tokens, Kimi K2 leverages a novel training stack that includes the MuonClip optimizer for stable, large-scale MoE training.
