Moonshot v1 32k (Moonshot AI)
Yes — Moonshot v1 32k is retired. Moonshot AI shut it down on August 31, 2026; API requests to it now fail. The recommended replacement is Kimi K2.6.
The middle tier of the original Moonshot API, priced between the 8k and 128k variants of the same underlying model. Choosing between the three was a billing decision rather than a capability one, a design Moonshot abandoned entirely with the Kimi-branded ids. It sunsets on 31 August with the rest of the v1 line.
