# Moonshot AI (Kimi)

Moonshot AI is a well-known domestic large-model team, and its flagship product is **Kimi**, known for **ultra-long context**(up to 2 million Chinese characters), and is suitable for feeding large chunks of documents / code for AI to help process.

## Get an API Key

* Go to [Moonshot Open Platform](https://platform.moonshot.cn/) Register account
* Enter `API Key Management` Create `sk-...` Key
* Top up any amount to activate (the minimum is very small)

## Configure in Cherry Studio

* Open `Settings → Model Services`, find **Moonshot AI** Provider to enter the details page
* Fill in `sk-...` Key
* API address default `https://api.moonshot.cn`
* Click **Get model list**

## Recommended usage

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

## Suitable use cases

* **Ultra-long PDF / document analysis**: Moonshot's long-context advantage is most evident
* **Large code review**: can fit an entire file in one go without splitting
* **Summarizing a whole ebook**: long-context models eliminate the hassle of manual chunking

{% hint style="info" %}

* Moonshot's "context cache" feature can significantly reduce token consumption in repeated conversations; see 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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/pre-basic/providers/moonshot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
