Recommended usage

Model	Suitable scenarios
moonshot-v1-8k	Short context, cheap and fast
moonshot-v1-32k	Medium context, enough for everyday use
moonshot-v1-128k	Long context, document analysis, code review
kimi-k2-* / k2.5-*	Latest flagship, stronger reasoning ability

Suitable scenarios

• Ultra-long PDF / document analysis: Moonshot's long-context advantage is most obvious
• Large code review: Can fit the complete file at once without splitting
• Summarizing an entire e-book: Long-context models save the hassle of manual slicing

• Moonshot's "context caching" feature can significantly reduce token usage in repeated conversations; refer to its official documentation
• Kimi has its own chat interface on the web, but connecting via Cherry Studio API lets you use Cherry Studio's assistant, knowledge base, MCP tools, and other extensions
