# Moonshot AI Kimi K2 Turbo — deprecation status

> Yes — Kimi K2 Turbo is retired. Moonshot AI shut it down on May 25, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Kimi K2.7 Code Highspeed.

The high-throughput K2, same model served several times faster at a premium price, which made it the usual choice for interactive coding tools. Discontinued 25 May 2026. The pattern survives in kimi-k2.7-code-highspeed, so the id is gone but the tier is not.
