AI Chat & Assistant Free plan Paid from Membership plans from about $7 per month (China Go tier) Web App, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Chrome Extension

Kimi is the assistant from Moonshot AI, built on the K-series open-weight models. Kimi K3 (July 2026) is the largest open-weights model ever released at 2.8 trillion parameters, and K3.1 Pro (October 2026) pushes to a 3-trillion-parameter class with a 1-million-token context window.

The product goes well beyond chat: Slides, Sheets, Docs and 3D Make generators, Deep Research, website deployment, Kimi Code for terminal coding and Agent Swarm, which fans work out across hundreds of parallel sub-agents. The core assistant is free; membership plans (China pricing from 49 yuan per month) add credits, Kimi Code and higher agent concurrency.
