Moonshot is putting an expiration date on its Kimi K2 models. 🤯👀
New-user access closed on October 31, with retirement planned for the end of December. Here’s what comes next:
• “K2.6:” 256K context window with thinking and non-thinking modes. • “K3.1 Pro:” A claimed 3T-class flagship with 1M-token context and native visual understanding. • “High-speed variant:” Moonshot claims 2–3x faster performance.
These are vendor-reported specifications, not independently verified benchmarks.
Would you prefer automatic model upgrades or the freedom to choose when to switch?
