Kimi Code Provider

Use Kimi's coding models (Kimi K3) through your Kimi Code subscription with OAuth device-flow sign-in, or with a Kimi Code API key. Model metadata is discovered automatically after you authenticate.

:::info Setup Required

  1. Select "Kimi Code" as your provider in Zoo Code settings
  2. Authenticate:
    • Kimi Code subscription (OAuth): Click "Sign in", then approve the device code shown in Zoo Code at the Kimi authorization page
    • API key: Paste your Kimi Code API key
  3. Pick a model: The model list refreshes automatically once you're authenticated :::

Website: https://www.kimi.com/code

Available Models

Kimi Code's coding model offers a large context window and up to 32,768 max output tokens. The exact model list is fetched from your account after sign-in; use "Refresh Models" in the provider settings to update it.

Configuration

Authentication Method

  • Kimi Code subscription (OAuth): Device-flow sign-in with automatic token refresh
  • API key: Direct key-based access

Reasoning Effort

Kimi K3 always thinks; you control how hard with the Model Reasoning Effort dropdown in the provider settings:

  • Low: Faster responses with reduced reasoning
  • High: Deeper reasoning
  • Max (default): Maximum reasoning effort

The selected effort is sent as the reasoning_effort parameter on every request. Thinking cannot be turned off for Kimi K3, so there is no "None" option.

Key Features

  • OAuth 2.0 device flow: Secure sign-in with automatic token refresh and transparent retry on expired tokens
  • API key support: Alternative authentication for headless setups
  • Automatic model discovery: Model list and capabilities fetched from your account
  • Configurable reasoning effort: Low, High, or Max (default Max)

Common Issues

"Not authenticated with Kimi Code"

  • Sign in from the Kimi Code provider settings (OAuth), or switch to the API key method

"401 Unauthorized"

  • With OAuth, Zoo Code refreshes the token and retries once automatically
  • If it persists, sign out and sign in again
