Thinking levels:
Kimi K2.5 is a natively multimodal model from Moonshot AI. It extends Kimi K2 through continued pretraining on roughly 15 trillion tokens of mixed image and text data, and pairs leading visual-coding ability with a self-directed agent-swarm approach. Over a 256K-token context it keeps strong general reasoning and agentic tool-calling, and it takes both text and image input.
Kimi K2.5 is a good fit for visual coding, multimodal agents and UI-to-code workflows. It supports tool (function) calling, image input and explicit reasoning. The model works with a context window of about 262K tokens, so it comfortably handles long inputs. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API. Just point your base URL at Hormouz and drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs unchanged.
Pricing is usage-based: $0.6 per million input tokens and $3.5 per million output tokens, billed only for what you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's native multimodal model, delivering state-of-the-art visual coding capability and a self-directed agent swarm paradigm. Built on Kimi K2 with continued pretraining over approximately 15T mixed...
