Instructions to use moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoModel
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5", trust_remote_code=True, dtype="auto")

Kimi K2.5 is 171B paramters but in model card, there is 1T parameters mentioned, it might be confusing for others, Model Summary in the model card is kinda wrong, please check it out!

Kimi K2.5 has 1 trillion parameters with 32 billion active. HF shows 171B probably because the model was trained using INT4 just like Kimi-K2-Thinking. If you search for Kimi K2 Instruct, it shows 1T, they didn't change the base model for k2.5.
