Kimi

What is Kimi?

Kimi is an AI assistant at kimi.com, run on the K3.1 Pro model, that combines everyday chat with agent features. Its menu covers deep research, Make PPT for slide decks, documents, projects, 3D, plugins and scheduled tasks, and members can publish websites from Agent or run Kimi Claw, a cloud-hosted agent environment. Kimi Code, the developer side of the membership, works from a command line, VS Code, a desktop app and third-party tools, and shares the same quota. Paid access is organized as membership plans named Go, Plus, Pro, Max and Ultra, which draw on one monthly credit pool that refreshes each month with no rollover. In China, Go costs ¥49 per month, or ¥468 per year, and Ultra costs ¥1,399 per month. You can add an Extra Usage balance when credits run out. The site is presented mainly in Chinese.
