Kimi K2.5, released in January 2026, adds native multimodal capabilities through the MoonViT vision encoder (400M parameters). While K2 focused on text generation, K2.5 can process images and video input, enabling visual coding tasks and agentic workflows that interpret visual content. K2 remains available for text-only use cases.
Yes, Kimi supports multiple languages including English, though its strongest performance is in Chinese. The model handles multilingual translation and cross-language tasks well, but users who work primarily in English may find dedicated English-first models like ChatGPT or Claude more optimized for their needs.
