How Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 Helps AI Builders Spin up Agent Swarms Easier than Ever

Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.5 supports up to 100 coordinated agents and 1,500 tool calls, enabling faster, cheaper visual coding with a Modified MIT license for hyperscale use.

  • On January 27, 2026, China-based startup Moonshot AI released the open-source Kimi K2.5 model and the open-source Kimi Code tool, which integrates with IDEs like VSCode and Cursor.
  • Trained on 15 trillion mixed visual and text tokens, Kimi K2.5 upgrades Kimi K2 into a coding and vision model embedding agent swarm orchestration.
  • Benchmarks show that Kimi K2.5 scored 50.2% on the Humanity's Last Exam and 76.8% on SWE-bench Verified, while its visual debugging and website reconstruction features enable reasoning over videos.
  • Enterprises can scale more efficiently as Kimi K2.5 self-directs 100 sub-agents and 1,500 tool calls, while its Modified MIT License requires `Kimi K2.5` attribution for over 100 million MAU or $20 million USD monthly revenue.
  • Moonshot's backers and founder position it strongly after raising $500 million last month at a $4.3 billion valuation, facing rivals like Deepseek set to launch next month and Anthropic with $1 billion ARR.
