About Kimi (Moonshot AI)
AIWatch Data: Kimi (Moonshot AI)'s reported uptime is 100.00%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 36 incidents with an average recovery time of 17h 11m.
Kimi is the AI assistant and API from Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI lab known for very long context windows and its agentic K2 model family. The Kimi Open API exposes chat, vision, and reasoning models to developers, and is OpenAI-API-compatible.
AIWatch Insight: Moonshot runs an automated monitor that opens a fresh incident per short model-error blip (often just a few minutes), so Kimi's status page can list frequent brief "Agentic model" alerts even while the Open API gateway stays operational. AIWatch drives Kimi's badge off the Open API component and groups those machine-generated alerts, so a 3-minute blip does not read as a full outage. Incident titles are published in Chinese; AIWatch renders them in English.
When the Kimi API is down, applications using Moonshot's long-context or K2 agentic models will fail. Deployments that chose Kimi for its large context window or lower cost lose their primary backend until it recovers.

Is Kimi (Moonshot AI) down right now?

Why does Kimi show frequent short incidents?
Moonshot's automated monitor opens a new incident for each brief spike in model error rates, usually lasting a few minutes. These are grouped on AIWatch and do not affect the Open API availability badge, which tracks the developer API gateway.
What are alternatives to Kimi?
Based on current AIWatch data, Cohere API (Score: 90) and Cerebras Inference (Score: 89) are the most reliable alternatives right now.
