How to use Kimi K2 in Factory
Blog post from Factory
Factory natively hosts Moonshot AI’s open-weight Kimi K2 model family within its Droid platform, allowing users to run the models without managing inference infrastructure, GPUs, or provider keys. Available variants include the coding-oriented Kimi K2.7 Code, Kimi K2.6, and Kimi K2.5, which can be selected in interactive Droid sessions through the model menu or specified in non-interactive commands, CI workflows, and Missions using their model IDs. Each version offers Off and High reasoning settings, with High as the default, while K2.7 Code and K2.6 have a 0.4x credit multiplier and K2.5 has a 0.25x multiplier, though users are advised to verify current pricing. The guide recommends Kimi K2.7 Code for focused coding tasks where a lower-cost open model is useful and highlights Factory’s ability to switch models per task or use Factory Router to select models automatically.
