Dark Side of the Moon Kimi multi-modal image understanding model API released

On January 15, 2025, Beijing Dark Side of the Moon Technology Co., Ltd. announced the official release of the new multi-modal image understanding model moonshot-v1-vision-preview. This model improves the multi-modal capabilities of the moonshot-v1 model series and helps Kimi Understand the world better.

The Vision model has powerful image recognition capabilities and can accurately identify complex details and nuances in images, whether it is food or animals, and can distinguish similar but not identical objects. For example, faced with 16 similar pictures of blueberry muffins and Chihuahuas that are difficult for the human eye to distinguish, the Vision model can accurately distinguish and identify them.

The Vision model also has the country's leading advanced image recognition capabilities and performs well in OCR text recognition and image understanding scenarios. It is more accurate than ordinary document scanning and OCR recognition software, and can recognize scrawled handwritten content such as receipts and express delivery orders.

The Vision vision model supports multiple rounds of dialogue, streaming output, tool calling, JSON Mode, Partial Mode and other features. However, it does not currently support Internet search. It does not support the creation of Context Cache with image content, but it supports the use of successfully created Cache calls. The Vision model does not support images in URL format and currently only supports base64-encoded image content.
