Picked by rule from 31 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
Kimi K2.5 self-directs an agent swarm with up to 100 sub-agents executing parallel workflows across up to 1,500 tool calls.
The measured 128-token workload contains 61,440 generated expert requests.
The 4 picks above, plus these 21. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.
5 providers with a live price, from $0.45 to $0.60 per million input tokens; the median is $0.53. One dot per provider, cheapest in teal.
Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.
Widely served (7 API providers); 39 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (75 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).
Top Spaces running it: akhaliq/anycoder ♥ 3,321 · hadadxyz/ai ♥ 819 · pliny-the-prompter/obliteratus ♥ 621 · hfmlsoc/different-flops ♥ 11
Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 616 GB at INT4, 1.23 TB at FP8, 2.46 TB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache. Every expert must be resident, so total parameters count.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2026-01-01), amber triangles are 10 dated articles (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
114 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.
From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.
Everything else, folded: the full tables, every source.

Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

Ranked by source signals (HN, Lobsters, authority domains, official posts) and recency. Summaries are generated from a stored copy of the article text; every sentence cites a span of that text, and nothing is shown that failed the citation check.
arXiv links found in the model card and its tags. "Peer-reviewed" is shown only with evidence: a published venue in OpenAlex (measured) or the authors' own journal reference on arXiv (reported).
