# Moonshot AI Moonshot v1 32k — deprecation status

> Yes — Moonshot AI deprecated Moonshot v1 32k and shuts it down on August 31, 2026 (in 28 days). 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.
