About this model

Kimi K2.5 is an open-source, native multimodal agentic model built through continual pretraining on approximately 15 trillion mixed visual and text tokens atop Kimi-K2-Base. It seamlessly integrates vision and language understanding with advanced agentic capabilities, instant and thinking modes, as well as conversational and agentic paradigms.

Key model capabilities

• Native Multimodality: Pre-trained on vision–language tokens, K2.5 excels in visual knowledge, cross-modal reasoning, and agentic tool use grounded in visual inputs.
• Coding with Vision: K2.5 generates code from visual specifications (UI designs, video workflows) and autonomously orchestrates tools for visual data processing.
• Agent Swarm: K2.5 transitions from single-agent scaling to a self-directed, coordinated swarm-like execution scheme. It decomposes complex tasks into parallel sub-tasks executed by dynamically instantiated, domain-specific agents.
