- Kimi Code offers two models: Kimi K3 and Kimi K2.7 Code, available across three model IDs: k3, kimi-for-coding, and kimi-for-coding-highspeed.
- Model features include varying context windows (up to 1M for K3, 256k for K2.7 Code), reasoning capabilities (K3 supports max effort, K2.7 Code has thinking ON), and speed (high-speed version is 6x faster with 3x quota usage).
- Usage may increase after model switch due to cache invalidation; starting a new session is recommended for better results and lower consumption.
- Common errors include 401 for plan limitations (e.g., no K3 access below Moderato plan) and unnoticeable HighSpeed due to mistyped IDs or tool/script dominance.
- To reduce overhead when switching reasoning effort, maintain consistency within a session or start a new session for changes.
- Switch models via official CLI, VS Code extension, or third-party tools, ensuring proper context window and reasoning effort settings for K3.
