Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.
Technical example in English
Interpret a compiler error\n\nA TypeScript function declares function count(xs: string[]): number { return xs.length.toString(); }. The compiler reports that string is not assignable to number. Explain the mismatch and propose the smallest correction that preserves the declared numeric return contract. Add expected results for an empty array and ["a", "b"].A brief diagnosis, corrected function and two expected numeric results.Confirm the return remains a number instead of weakening the declared type to allow a string.k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.

k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/chat/completionsAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimiMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/messagesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimiMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/responsesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimiMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

kimi-k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.

kimi-k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/chat/completionsAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimi-latestMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/messagesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimi-latestMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

POST /v1/responsesAiloot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
Model-level reference schedules do not change method selection, quotes or charges. Active charges use the selected Ailoot method rates.
Match each charge to the conditions shown. Use one rate for each set of alternative configurations.

kimi-latestMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

kimi-k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.

moonshotai/kimi-k3Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

~moonshotai/kimi-latestMoonshot AI's Kimi K3 is for text-based development and research: send source material in messages and receive a written response.
This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.
Use Kimi K3 for engineering tasks by sending requirements, code excerpts and terminal output as text. Ask for a proposed change, an explanation of an error or a plan for the next step. In this Ailoot card's Ultra methods, the supplied material is text and the result is a text response.
Continue development by adding the result of each step to the conversation. An external environment runs code, invokes compilers and saves files; send its output back as text when asking for the next change. State the goal, permitted actions and stopping conditions explicitly when connecting the response to your own automation.
Provide literature excerpts, formulas, notes and calculation results as text. Ask Kimi K3 to connect the material to a written analysis or proposed computational code, then use your own environment to run the calculations and inspect the results.
For interactive reports, diagrams or editable presentations, request the written content or code and create the artifact in your application. Return the relevant data and any errors to the conversation for another pass.
Send kimi-k3 as the model ID to POST /v1/chat/completions with messages, or to POST /v1/messages with messages and max_tokens. Both methods accept the document text directly in message content. Use the optional stream control for streamed responses. Keep every returned choice or content block, including any returned reasoning and tool-call data, and assemble all stream deltas before passing the result to the next step.
The catalogue metadata for kimi-k3 lists a context length of 1,048,576 tokens. This describes the model record; the available Ultra methods do not specify a fixed request-context limit or maximum output ceiling.

Technical example in English
Interpret a compiler error\n\nA TypeScript function declares function count(xs: string[]): number { return xs.length.toString(); }. The compiler reports that string is not assignable to number. Explain the mismatch and propose the smallest correction that preserves the declared numeric return contract. Add expected results for an empty array and ["a", "b"].A brief diagnosis, corrected function and two expected numeric results.Confirm the return remains a number instead of weakening the declared type to allow a string.
