Moonshot (Kimi)

Moonshot (Kimi)

Moonshot’s Kimi models are available in Ptah as a ptah-cli provider — an Anthropic-compatible API provider that joins the CLI agent pool alongside Codex and Copilot. The flagship coding model is kimi-k2.7-code.

Models

Model	Context	Pricing (per 1M tokens)	Notes
kimi-k2.7-code	256K	~$0.95 in / $4.00 out	Opus-tier. Agentic coding flagship.
kimi-k2.7-code-highspeed	256K	Varies	Lower-latency variant.

kimi-k2.7-code is the opus-tier model for the Moonshot family — it’s what Ptah selects when a high-capability Moonshot agent is requested (including when Moonshot joins a Tribunal panel).

Note

Pricing figures are approximate and subject to change. Check the Moonshot platform for current rates.

What you need

• A Moonshot account and API key from platform.moonshot.ai.
• The Ptah Electron desktop app, or ptah-cli for headless use.

Configuration

Add Moonshot from Settings → Providers → Ptah CLI in the app:

1. Add a new Ptah CLI provider and choose Moonshot as the provider.
2. Paste your Moonshot API key. The key is stored in encrypted safeStorage — never in plaintext.
3. Save. Moonshot now appears in the model selector and the CLI agent pool.

Ptah registers Moonshot as an Anthropic-compatible provider and maps its capability tiers to concrete models automatically. Non-secret tier mappings live in ~/.ptah/settings.json:

{
  "provider.moonshot.modelTier.opus": "kimi-k2.7-code",
  "provider.moonshot.modelTier.sonnet": "kimi-k2.6",
  "provider.moonshot.modelTier.haiku": "kimi-k2.5"
}

Set any tier to null to fall back to Ptah’s default for that tier.

Verifying it works

1. Open the chat and select your Moonshot agent from the model selector.
2. Send a coding prompt: Write a TypeScript function that validates an ISO 8601 date string.
3. You should see a streaming response, attributed to the Moonshot ptah-cli provider in the Execution Tree.

Tribunal panel participation

When Tribunal assembles a panel, Moonshot joins as the Kimi vendor family if its ptah-cli agent is enabled — contributing a Kimi answer and critique to each Council, a worktree implementation in Forge, and an attempt in Race. To drop Moonshot from the panel, disable or remove its agent in Settings → Providers.

Troubleshooting

• Agent not listed in the selector — confirm the Moonshot provider is enabled in Settings, then restart Ptah.
• Authentication error — the API key is wrong or expired. Re-enter it in Settings → Providers → Ptah CLI; regenerate it at platform.moonshot.ai if needed.
• Model unavailable — your Moonshot account may not have access to kimi-k2.7-code. Check model permissions in the Moonshot console.
• Slow first response — Kimi K2.7 at 256K context can have a brief cold start; subsequent turns in the same session are faster.
