Kimi K2.8 Preview from Moonshot AI: Kimi coding model with more efficient thinking and up to 1M context, available through Kimi Code.
Recorded modality support shows what this model can accept and produce. An undocumented modality is shown as unknown rather than assumed to be unsupported.

Kimi coding model with more efficient thinking and up to 1M context, available through Kimi Code. The registry places it in the kimi-k2 family with a release date of 2026-09-11. This profile describes its documented interface and how to evaluate it for the intended task.
The recorded inputs are text, image and video, with text output. The registry lists a 1,048,576-token context window. It also declares reasoning and function calling. These are specifications, not a measured quality or speed ranking. A host can impose its own request limits and support a different subset of features.
Kimi K2.8 Preview is recorded as a hosted model without downloadable weights. Confirm the current model ID and access conditions on the chosen API. A registry listing alone does not establish that an account or region has access.
No independently checked token rate is added from a hosting alias. Use the route’s current price and billing unit when comparing cost, including output, reasoning, cache behavior and retries where applicable.
Test photographs, screenshots and documents with the detail your application needs to read. Include small text, crowded layouts and questions whose answer is absent. Check whether the answer is supported by the image instead of accepting a plausible description.
This is a registry-sourced profile. A model-specific publisher document has not yet been confirmed; access and specifications should be checked before an integration decision. SyncDev has not independently benchmarked Kimi K2.8 Preview.
