## AI overview

Vercel AI Gateway now offers Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.6 model. The announcement highlights its long-horizon coding capabilities, support through the AI SDK, and gateway features for model access, reliability, usage tracking, and observability.

## Source excerpt

Kimi K2.6 from Moonshot AI is now available on Vercel AI Gateway. The model focuses on long-horizon coding tasks, with generalization across languages such as Rust, Go, and Python and across front-end, devops, and performance optimization work. K2.6 can turn simple prompts into complete front-end interfaces with structured layouts. For autonomous, proactive agents that run continuously across multiple applications, K2.6 improves on API interpretation, long-running stability, and safety awareness during extended research tasks. To use Kimi K2.6, set model to moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 in the AI SDK. AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in custom reporting, observability, Bring Your Own Key support, and intelligent provider routing with automatic retries.
