Kimi-VL is a lightweight Mixture-of-Experts vision-language model that activates only 2.8B parameters per step while delivering strong performance on multimodal reasoning and long-context tasks. The Kimi-VL-A3B-Thinking variant, fine-tuned with chain-of-thought and reinforcement learning, excels in math and visual reasoning benchmarks like MathVision, MMMU, and MathVista, rivaling much larger models such as Qwen2.5-VL-7B and Gemma-3-12B. It supports 128K context and high-resolution input via its MoonViT encoder.
