Key information about Kimi K2 Thinking and its available data.
Kimi K2 Thinking is the latest, most capable version of open-source thinking model. Starting with Kimi K2, it is built as a thinking agent that reasons step-by-step while dynamically invoking tools.
It sets a new state-of-the-art on Humanity's Last Exam (HLE), BrowseComp, and other benchmarks by dramatically scaling multi-step reasoning depth and maintaining stable tool-use across 200–300 sequential calls.
At the same time, K2 Thinking is a native INT4 quantization model with 256k context window, achieving lossless reductions in inference latency and GPU memory usage.
Key features include deep thinking & tool orchestration with end-to-end training to interleave chain-of-thought reasoning with function calls, native INT4 quantization via Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) achieving lossless 2x speed-up, and stable long-horizon agency maintaining coherent goal-directed behavior across up to 200–300 consecutive tool invocations.
