kimmonismus · x · 2026-07-14
Accounts related to Kimi posted that Kimi K3 might be released tomorrow, accompanied by a limited-time top-up promotion: from July 15 to August 11, users can receive 10%–30% extra credits based on the single top-up amount, with the highest tier offering 30% for top-ups of 5,000 yuan or more.
The post also reviewed the key selling points of K2.6: it gained traction primarily by solving pain points for coding agents, including long conversations, unstable tool calling, and rapidly escalating costs. Moonshot showcased an autonomous coding run lasting 12–13 hours involving thousands of tool calls, with positive feedback from Vercel and CodeBuddy. Additionally, K2.6 remains open-weight, supports a 256K context and native vision, can generate full-stack applications, and coordinates up to 300 sub-agents.
