Kimi teaser video shows the model name Kimi K3.1: Kimi Code terminal reads "K3.1 thinking: high" while generating a Three.js 3D scene
On 2026-10-23 (01:41 UTC) the official Kimi account @Kimi_Moonshot posted a 24-second, retro-CRT-style video with no caption text. The Kimi Code terminal at the start of the clip reads "Model: Kimi K3.1" and "Version: 2.2.0", the status bar shows "Kimi K3.1 thinking: high", and a notice says "Kimi Code Desktop is here". The user then types "Build a complex procedural 3D scene in Three.js." and the model calls the Write tool to create ./scene.js. This is the first time the Kimi K3.1 name has appeared in official material. The post has no caption and no release date, benchmark, price or parameter details, so this is a teaser and not a confirmed release.
