Examples of multi-step planning and tool use are also rare in natural text. The Kimi Team's answer is Kimi K2, a sparse Mixture-of-Experts model… 2. **[Kimi K2.5: Visual Agentic Intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kimi-team-2026-kimi-k2-5-visual/)** *(2026 · 58 citations)* Kimi K2.5 addresses two weaknesses of current agentic LLMs. Vision is often added to a text model late in training, and agents usually run tool calls one after another, so latency grows with task size. Built on Kimi K2, the model is jointly pre-trained on roughly 15 trillion mixed text and visual tokens. Vision is… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
