How we got this
Moonshot AI is the maker of Kimi K2.7 Code. We look at the gaps between its earlier versions (Kimi K2.7 Code, 2026-06-12) and project the next one. It is a guess from a pattern, not news: the maker has not said Kimi K2.8 Code exists. This page turns into the launch page, with price and facts, as soon as the model shows up on OpenRouter, Hugging Face or GitHub.
