MoonshotAI Kimi

Run Moonshot AI Kimi vision-language models via OpenRouter.

v2

Ask a question to Moonshot AI Kimi vision-language models served via OpenRouter.

You can specify arbitrary text prompts or predefined ones, the block supports the following types of prompt:

• Open Prompt (unconstrained) - Use any prompt to generate a raw response

• Text Recognition (OCR) (ocr) - Model recognizes text in the image

• Visual Question Answering (visual-question-answering) - Model answers the question you submit in the prompt

• Captioning (short) (caption) - Model provides a short description of the image

• Captioning (detailed-caption) - Model provides a long description of the image

• Single-Label Classification (classification) - Model classifies the image content as one of the provided classes

• Multi-Label Classification (multi-label-classification) - Model classifies the image content as one or more of the provided classes

• Unprompted Object Detection (object-detection) - Model detects and returns the bounding boxes for prominent objects in the image

• Structured Output Generation (structured-answering) - Model returns a JSON response with the specified fields

🛠️ API providers and model variants

Kimi is exposed via OpenRouter. By default this block uses the Roboflow-managed OpenRouter key and bills your Roboflow credits - no extra setup needed. To bypass Roboflow billing, paste your own sk-or-... key into the api_key field.

The privacy_level field controls which OpenRouter providers may serve the request:

• No data collection (default) – providers may not train on your inputs.

• Allow data collection – broader provider pool.

• Zero data retention – strictest, restricts to providers that retain nothing.

Type identifier

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/kimi_openrouter@v2 to add the block as a step in your workflow.

Properties

Name	Type	Description	Refs
name	str	Enter a unique identifier for this step..	❌
api_key	str	OpenRouter API key. Defaults to Roboflow's managed key, billed in credits via Roboflow. Provide your own sk-or-... key to call OpenRouter directly without Roboflow billing..	✅
privacy_level	str	Provider privacy filter. Stricter levels reduce the pool of providers and may increase per-call cost on the managed key..	❌
max_tokens	int	Maximum number of tokens the model can generate in its response..	❌
temperature	float	Temperature to sample from the model - value in range 0.0-2.0, the higher - the more random / "creative" the generations are..	✅
max_concurrent_requests	int	Number of concurrent requests for batches of images. If not given - block defaults to value configured globally in Workflows Execution Engine. Restrict if you hit rate limits..	❌
task_type	str	Task type to be performed by model. Value determines required parameters and output response..	❌
prompt	str	Text prompt to the Kimi model.	✅
output_structure	Dict[str, str]	Dictionary with structure of expected JSON response.	❌
classes	List[str]	List of classes to be used.	✅
model_version	str	Model to be used.	✅

The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.

Runtime compatibility

requires_internet - air-gapped / offline deployments : This block depends on a service that is not reachable from fully offline / air-gapped deployments.

Input and Output Bindings

The available connections depend on its binding kinds. Check what binding kinds MoonshotAI Kimi in version v2 has.

Input and output bindings

• input

  • api_key (Union[ROBOFLOW_MANAGED_KEY, secret, string]): OpenRouter API key. Defaults to Roboflow's managed key, billed in credits via Roboflow. Provide your own sk-or-... key to call OpenRouter directly without Roboflow billing..

  • temperature (float): Temperature to sample from the model - value in range 0.0-2.0, the higher - the more random / "creative" the generations are..

  • images (image): The image to infer on..

  • prompt (string): Text prompt to the Kimi model.

  • classes (list_of_values): List of classes to be used.

  • model_version (string): Model to be used.

• output

  • output (Union[string, language_model_output]): String value if string or LLM / VLM output if language_model_output.

  • classes (list_of_values): List of values of any type.

🛠️ API providers and model variants

Kimi is exposed via OpenRouter API and we require passing an OpenRouter API Key to run.

Pick a specific model version from the model_version dropdown - new Kimi releases will be added to this list as they become available on OpenRouter.

API Usage Charges

OpenRouter is an external third party providing access to the model and incurring charges on the usage. Please check pricing on openrouter.ai before use.
