If you want to run Kimi-2.5 with kimi-cli through
Venice.ai (who have deployed the model really fast), you need this small change:
https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/pull/782
Then it works flawlessly.
So far I'm quite happy about it and it's much cheaper than the frontier models, but I don't think it's much worse.
Here's my model grading:
Hey Nostriches.
Build something cool. Here's an API key:
VENICE-INFERENCE-KEY-O7Rcb8toRQ3F468aQWxIt4j-9zp64hfmiDz7m16UjY
(Not stolen, it is mine, will work until someone consumes the credits - credit limit resets every day at midnight and until the end of February ).
I recommend using Kimi 2.5 or cheaper models, you will burn the tokens very fast with Opus 4.5 or so. Pricing here (so you know how much you're burning):
https://docs.venice.ai/overview/pricing
Rules:
- not many, be mindful of others and me, don't do anything crazy and unethical
- The credits are not unlimited, if you can afford them or have a subscription, use that, this is to enable people who can't afford a subscription to use premier models (Opus, GPT-5.2, Kimi 2.5, ...)
Recommendation: Create something cool. Nostr / Bitcoin / Freedom expanding code. Pull requests. Open source software. Art. Whatever. Bless us with your creations 😃
Posting what you created as a reply is appreciated, as are zaps. Have fun!
