How to Use Kimi with OpenClaw?

Kimi, developed by Moonshot AI, is a capable model with a massive 128K-2M token context window. It's particularly strong at processing long documents and multilingual content.

Get your API key from platform.moonshot.cn. Kimi uses an OpenAI-compatible API, so configuration in OpenClaw is straightforward.

Kimi's standout feature is its context length. While most models top out at 128K-200K tokens, Kimi supports up to 2 million tokens in its latest version. This makes it excellent for analyzing entire codebases, long research papers, or extensive conversation histories.

Pricing is competitive — roughly comparable to GPT-4o-mini for standard usage. The free tier includes a limited number of requests for testing.

Kimi works well for: document analysis, summarization of long texts, multilingual translation (especially good with Asian languages), and tasks requiring extensive context. For general-purpose use, Claude or DeepSeek may be better choices.

Setup tip: Use OpenRouter as your provider if you want easy access to Kimi alongside other models. This lets you switch between models without changing API keys.
