Kimi K2.6 is Moonshot AI's next-generation multimodal model, designed for long-horizon coding, coding-driven UI/UX generation, and multi-agent orchestration. It handles complex end-to-end coding tasks across Python, Rust, and Go, and can convert prompts and visual inputs into production-ready interfaces. Its agent swarm architecture scales to hundreds of parallel sub-agents for autonomous task decomposition - delivering documents, websites, and spreadsheets in a single run without human oversight.

1.05M tokens

DeepSeek V4 Flash is an efficiency-optimized Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 284B total parameters and 13B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is designed for fast inference and high-throughput workloads, while maintaining strong reasoning and coding performance. The model includes hybrid attention for efficient long-context processing. Reasoning efforts `high` and `xhigh` are supported; `xhigh` maps to max reasoning. It is well suited for applications such as coding assistants, chat systems, and agent workflows where responsiveness and cost efficiency are important.

DeepSeek V4 Pro is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts model from DeepSeek with 1.6T total parameters and 49B activated parameters, supporting a 1M-token context window. It is designed for advanced reasoning, coding, and long-horizon agent workflows, with strong performance across knowledge, math, and software engineering benchmarks. Built on the same architecture as DeepSeek V4 Flash, it introduces a hybrid attention system for efficient long-context processing. Reasoning efforts `high` and `xhigh` are supported; `xhigh` maps to max reasoning. It is well suited for complex workloads such as full-codebase analysis, multi-step automation, and large-scale information synthesis, where both capability and efficiency are critical.
