MoonshotAI Kimi¶
v2¶
Class: KimiOpenrouterBlockV2 (there are multiple versions of this block)
Source: inference.core.workflows.core_steps.models.foundation.kimi_openrouter.v2.KimiOpenrouterBlockV2
Warning: This block has multiple versions. Please refer to the specific version for details. You can learn more about how versions work here: Versioning
Ask a question to Moonshot AI Kimi vision-language models served via OpenRouter.
You can specify arbitrary text prompts or predefined ones, the block supports the following types of prompt:
-
Open Prompt (
unconstrained) - Use any prompt to generate a raw response -
Text Recognition (OCR) (
ocr) - Model recognizes text in the image -
Visual Question Answering (
visual-question-answering) - Model answers the question you submit in the prompt -
Captioning (short) (
caption) - Model provides a short description of the image -
Captioning (
detailed-caption) - Model provides a long description of the image -
Single-Label Classification (
classification) - Model classifies the image content as one of the provided classes -
Multi-Label Classification (
multi-label-classification) - Model classifies the image content as one or more of the provided classes -
Unprompted Object Detection (
object-detection) - Model detects and returns the bounding boxes for prominent objects in the image -
Structured Output Generation (
structured-answering) - Model returns a JSON response with the specified fields
๐ ๏ธ API providers and model variants¶
Kimi is exposed via OpenRouter. By default this block uses
the Roboflow-managed OpenRouter key and bills your Roboflow credits โ no extra
setup needed. To bypass Roboflow billing, paste your own sk-or-... key into the
api_key field.
The privacy_level field controls which OpenRouter providers may serve the request:
- No data collection (default) โ providers may not train on your inputs.
- Allow data collection โ broader provider pool.
- Zero data retention โ strictest, restricts to providers that retain nothing.

Type identifier¶
Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/kimi_openrouter@v2to add the block as
as step in your workflow.
Properties¶
| Name | Type | Description | Refs |
|---|---|---|---|
name |
str |
Enter a unique identifier for this step.. | โ |
api_key |
str |
OpenRouter API key. Defaults to Roboflow's managed key, billed in credits via Roboflow. Provide your own sk-or-... key to call OpenRouter directly without Roboflow billing.. |
โ |
privacy_level |
str |
Provider privacy filter. Stricter levels reduce the pool of providers and may increase per-call cost on the managed key.. | โ |
max_tokens |
int |
Maximum number of tokens the model can generate in its response.. | โ |
temperature |
float |
Temperature to sample from the model - value in range 0.0-2.0, the higher - the more random / "creative" the generations are.. | โ |
max_concurrent_requests |
int |
Number of concurrent requests for batches of images. If not given - block defaults to value configured globally in Workflows Execution Engine. Restrict if you hit rate limits.. | โ |
task_type |
str |
Task type to be performed by model. Value determines required parameters and output response.. | โ |
prompt |
str |
Text prompt to the Kimi model. | โ |
output_structure |
Dict[str, str] |
Dictionary with structure of expected JSON response. | โ |
classes |
List[str] |
List of classes to be used. | โ |
model_version |
str |
Model to be used. | โ |
The Refs column marks possibility to parametrise the property with dynamic values available
in workflow runtime. See Bindings for more info.

Kimi is exposed via OpenRouter API and we require passing an OpenRouter API Key to run.
Pick a specific model version from the model_version dropdown - new Kimi releases
will be added to this list as they become available on OpenRouter.
API Usage Charges
OpenRouter is an external third party providing access to the model and incurring charges on the usage. Please check pricing on openrouter.ai before use.
