You can now access Kimi K2.5 via [AI Gateway](https://vercel.com/ai-gateway) with no other provider accounts required.

Kimi K2.5 is Moonshot AI's most intelligent and versatile model yet, achieving open-source state-of-the-art performance across agent tasks, coding, visual understanding, and general intelligence. It has more advanced coding abilities compared to previous iterations, especially with frontend code quality and design expressiveness. This enables the creation of fully functional interactive user interfaces with dynamic layouts and animations.

To use this model, set model to `moonshotai/kimi-k2.5` in the AI SDK:
