# Kimi K2.6 on AI Gateway

By Steven Van · 2026-04-20

Moonshot AI's coding-focused model joins Vercel AI Gateway, callable as moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 in the AI SDK.

[Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>)'s AI Gateway now supports Kimi K2.6 from Moonshot AI. The model targets long-horizon coding tasks, with generalization across languages including Rust, Go, and Python, and across front-end, devops, and performance optimization work.

K2.6 can turn a simple prompt into a complete front-end interface with a structured layout. For autonomous agents running continuously across multiple applications, Moonshot says the model improves on API interpretation, long-running stability, and safety awareness during extended research tasks.

To use it, set the model to **moonshotai/kimi-k2.6** in the AI SDK. AI Gateway provides a single API for calling models, with usage and cost tracking, retries, failover, and provider routing, and appears on the [AI Gateway leaderboard](<https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/leaderboards>).
