Kimi provider

You can proxy requests to Kimi AI models through AI Gateway by creating AI Model Provider and AI Model entities. This reference documents all supported AI capabilities, configuration requirements, and provider-specific details needed for proper integration.

AI Gateway automatically routes requests to the appropriate Kimi API endpoints. The following table shows the upstream paths used for each capability.

The following tables show the AI capabilities supported by the Kimi provider when configuring AI Models.

By default, AI Gateway uses the path templates shown in the tables below (e.g., /chat/completions, /embeddings, etc.). To customize these paths, configure the config.paths field in your AI Model entity. Custom paths take the form {configured_path}/{template_path} — for example, if you set a custom path of /v2, requests to /embeddings would be routed to /v2/embeddings.

Text generation

Support for Kimi text generation capabilities:

The base URL is https://api.moonshot.ai.

AI Gateway uses this URL automatically. You only need to configure a URL if you’re using a self-hosted or Kimi-compatible endpoint, in which case set the upstream_url option in your AI Model configuration.

To use Kimi with AI Gateway, configure a new AI Model Provider as follows:

curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v1/ai-gateways/{AIGatewayId}/model-providers \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
    --data '

        }
