Kimi Code rolls out K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed with 1M context

·2026.10.24 01:59

Key point

The new 3T-parameter models feature a 1M context window and thinking-only mode, with the Highspeed variant offering 2-3x faster output at double the quota cost.

Details

  • Kimi Code has fully rolled out K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed, the first models in the K3.1 series and the company's most capable 3T-class offerings to date.
  • K3.1 Pro supports a 1M context window and shows substantial improvements in coding, 3D creation, and financial research, while K3.1 Pro Highspeed delivers identical capabilities at approximately 2-3x the speed.
  • Both models enforce thinking mode exclusively, rejecting any requests with thinking disabled, and require users to start new sessions to avoid quality degradation and cache invalidation.
  • The API supports OpenAI and Anthropic protocols, with specific base URLs provided for China and overseas regions to facilitate integration with third-party tools like Claude Code and Codex.

Model Specifications and Availability

  • K3.1 Pro and Highspeed require Plus-tier plans for access, with 1M context reserved for Pro-tier and above members.
  • K3.1 Pro Highspeed consumes approximately 2x the quota of the standard version, whereas the previous K2.7 Code Highspeed runs at 5-6x speed with 3x quota usage.
  • Multimodal input for the new models includes both image and video, matching the capabilities of the previous K3 and K2.8 Preview models.

Usage and Configuration

  • Users must use specific model IDs (k3.1-pro, k3.1-pro-highspeed) in third-party tools, as mistyped IDs silently fall back to K2.8 Preview without thinking.
  • Thinking effort levels (low, high, max) are supported, with max as the default for K3.1 Pro models; changing effort levels invalidates the context cache and increases token usage.
