VerifiedExcels at long-context multimodal reasoning with text and images.
About MoonshotAI Kimi Latest
The architecture emphasizes extended context handling alongside native vision support. Moonshot AI developed it as a proprietary system without public weights. This design prioritizes coherence when processing lengthy combined text and visual inputs.
Key strengths include stable performance over hundreds of thousands of tokens and integrated image understanding. It avoids common degradation seen in shorter-context models during prolonged interactions. The result is reliable analysis of detailed documents paired with visual elements.
Typical usage covers long-document summarization, multi-turn conversations with image references, and detailed visual reasoning. Developers integrate it into tools for research, content review, and data-heavy workflows. Its closed nature suits enterprise applications requiring consistent large-scale context management.

Quick start
OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. Only the model slug changes between models.
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "~moonshotai/kimi-latest",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);Model slug: ~moonshotai/kimi-latest
