Instructions to use moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Introducing Kimi-Dev:
A Strong and Open-source Coding LLM for Issue Resolution

Kimi-Dev Team

📄 Tech Report (Coming soon...) | 📄 Github

We introduce Kimi-Dev-72B, our new open-source coding LLM for software engineering tasks. Kimi-Dev-72B achieves a new state-of-the-art on SWE-bench Verified among open-source models.

Kimi-Dev-72B achieves 60.4% performance on SWE-bench Verified. It surpasses the runner-up, setting a new state-of-the-art result among open-source models.
Kimi-Dev-72B is optimized via large-scale reinforcement learning. It autonomously patches real repositories in Docker and gains rewards only when the entire test suite passes. This ensures correct and robust solutions, aligning with real-world development standards.
Kimi-Dev-72B is available for download and deployment on Hugging Face and GitHub. We welcome developers and researchers to explore its capabilities and contribute to development.

Performance of Open-source Models on SWE-bench Verified.

Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "moonshotai/Kimi-Dev-72B"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "Give me a short introduction to large language model."
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=512
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
