Moonshot AI

Moonshot AI (Kimi)

Moonshot provides the Kimi API with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Configure the provider and set the default model to moonshot/kimi-k2.5, or use Kimi Coding with kimi-coding/k2p5.

Current Kimi K2 model IDs:

• kimi-k2.5
• kimi-k2-0905-preview
• kimi-k2-turbo-preview
• kimi-k2-thinking
• kimi-k2-thinking-turbo

Kimi Coding:

openclaw onboard --auth-choice kimi-code-api-key

Note: Moonshot and Kimi Coding are separate providers. Keys are not interchangeable, endpoints differ, and model refs differ (Moonshot uses moonshot/..., Kimi Coding uses kimi-coding/...).

Kimi Coding

{
  env: { KIMI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "kimi-coding/k2p5" },
      models: {
        "kimi-coding/k2p5": { alias: "Kimi K2.5" },
      },
    },
  },
}

Notes

• Moonshot model refs use moonshot/<modelId>. Kimi Coding model refs use kimi-coding/<modelId>.
• Override pricing and context metadata in models.providers if needed.
• If Moonshot publishes different context limits for a model, adjust contextWindow accordingly.
• Use https://api.moonshot.ai/v1 for the international endpoint, and https://api.moonshot.cn/v1 for the China endpoint.

Native thinking mode (Moonshot)

Moonshot Kimi supports binary native thinking:

• thinking: { type: "enabled" }
• thinking: { type: "disabled" }

Configure it per model via agents.defaults.models.<provider/model>.params:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      models: {
        "moonshot/kimi-k2.5": {
          params: {
            thinking: { type: "disabled" },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

OpenClaw also maps runtime /think levels for Moonshot:

• /think off -> thinking.type=disabled
• any non-off thinking level -> thinking.type=enabled

When Moonshot thinking is enabled, tool_choice must be auto or none. OpenClaw normalizes incompatible tool_choice values to auto for compatibility.
