K2.6 made long-horizon coding the center of Kimi's story

The read
K2.6 remains useful context for understanding Kimi's product direction, but K3 is now the flagship and K2.7 Code is the focused coding line.
Why the release still matters
K2.6 concentrated Moonshot's roadmap around sustained software work, coding-driven visual design, proactive agents, and larger agent swarms. Those themes carried directly into the K3 launch.
For teams comparing historical evaluations, the model remains an important baseline. For new deployments, the current API model list should decide what is supported.
