Since 10/31, the K2 series models (such as kimi-k2.6 and kimi-k2.7-code) are no longer available to people who sign up now on the Kimi platform; existing users are not affected. Moonshot plans to retire the entire K2 series by the end of December 2026 and recommends migrating to kimi-k3.1-pro.
Why it matters Anyone with a product running on K2 now has a two-month deadline to migrate and retest. It is a reminder that Chinese API models also turn over generations quickly.
