About Kimi K4

Kimi K4 is the next large language model from Moonshot AI and the successor to Kimi K3, the 2.8-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model released in July 2026. Kimi K3.1 Pro, out since October 23, 2026, is Kimi K3 trained further; Kimi K4 is a new base model.

Kimi K4 is significantly larger than Kimi K3, trained on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, and uses fewer active parameters per token, so it answers faster.

Kimi K4 is expected in 2027.

Kimi K4 main features

A bigger model, faster long-context attention, coding agents, and images and video in the chat.

Bigger than Kimi K3

Kimi K4 is Moonshot's largest model so far: significantly larger than Kimi K3 with its 2.8 trillion parameters, and trained on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs. At the same time it uses fewer active parameters for each token than the 104 billion of Kimi K3, so its answers come faster.

Long context with Kimi Delta Attention

Kimi K4 is built on Kimi Delta Attention, Moonshot's linear attention, which keeps it fast on both short and long texts. At 1 million tokens of context it writes answers up to 6 times faster than full attention and needs up to 75% less memory for that context.

Built for coding agents

Kimi models are made for long agent runs: Kimi K2 makes 200 to 300 tool calls in a row, and Kimi K3.1 Pro leads Terminal-Bench 4.0 with 67.2%. Kimi K4 continues this line: it plans a change, edits files across a project, runs the tests and fixes what fails.

Images and video in the chat

Kimi K3 and Kimi K3.1 Pro read images and video natively through Moonshot's MoonViT vision encoder, and Kimi K4 keeps both. Send a sketch, a screenshot or a screen recording and ask about it in the same message.

Kimi K4 is the next flagship large language model from Moonshot AI and the successor to Kimi K3. It is significantly larger than Kimi K3, a mixture-of-experts model with 2.8 trillion parameters, and is trained on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs.

Kimi K4 is expected in 2027. The newest Kimi model today is Kimi K3.1 Pro, released on October 23, 2026.

Not yet. On Overchat AI you can use Kimi K3.1 Pro, Moonshot's newest model, or Superchat, which picks the model for you. Kimi K4 will be added once it is out.

Yes. Kimi K4 uses fewer active parameters per token than the 104 billion of Kimi K3, and its Kimi Delta Attention writes answers up to 6 times faster than full attention at 1 million tokens of context.

Kimi K4 is significantly larger than Kimi K3, which has 2.8 trillion parameters in total and 104 billion active for each token, while using fewer active parameters per token than K3.

Kimi K3.1 Pro is Kimi K3 trained further with much more reinforcement learning, on the same 2.8-trillion-parameter base model. Kimi K4 is Moonshot's next generation: a new base model that is larger than Kimi K3.

Moonshot's recent models come with open weights: Kimi K3 under a modified MIT license, and the weights of Kimi K3.1 Pro by November 4, 2026.
