Kimi (Moonshot)
A RocketRide LLM node that connects Moonshot AI's Kimi models to a pipeline through the OpenAI-compatible Moonshot API.
What it does
Provides chat completion using Kimi and Moonshot models as an llm-class invoke filter. It can be wired directly via lanes or consumed by any agent or node that needs an LLM backend.
Built on langchain-openai (ChatOpenAI) pointed at the Moonshot endpoint; the openai SDK is used only for the save-time configuration probe. The request's max_tokens is set from the active profile's output token limit.
Temperature is set automatically per model family: Kimi K2 models run at temperature 1 (the API rejects any other value with "invalid temperature: only 1 is allowed for this model"), while the classic Moonshot v1 models run at temperature 0 for deterministic pipeline output.
When the node configuration is saved, cloud Moonshot endpoints (where serverbase contains api.moonshot) are validated with a minimal 1-token probe request. Failures are surfaced as warnings with the provider's HTTP status, error type, and message. Self-hosted or local OpenAI-compatible endpoints are not validated at save time.

The last collapsed profile is deprecated: kimi-k3:batch is an OpenRouter routing
alias, not a Moonshot model ID, so the Moonshot API has nothing to answer with. It stays
selectable so saved pipelines keep loading; use kimi-k3 instead. It arrived through
OpenRouter fallback discovery in the model sync, the same way the deprecated profiles in
llm_qwen did.
Configuration
Choose a model profile. The profile supplies the model identifier, context window, and output limit, so the UI requires no additional model settings.
Authentication
Cloud Moonshot endpoints require an API key starting with sk-. Any other format is rejected at startup with a key-format error. Keys are issued at the Moonshot AI platform.
If no API key is configured (typical for self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoints), a placeholder key (sk-local-dummy-key) is sent instead because the OpenAI client requires a non-empty value.
Notes
Model sync
Profiles are maintained by the sync_models tooling (llm_kimi provider,
ROCKETRIDE_KIMI_KEY). Every profile must carry serverbase: kimi.py refuses to
start without it, and this node defines no field for it, so there is no default to fall
back on. The provider's extra_profile_fields writes the Moonshot endpoint into each
new profile for that reason.
Text-only models
Moonshot also publishes moonshot-v1-{8k,32k,128k}-vision-preview image-input
models. Those belong in a dedicated vision node in the llm_vision_* family and
are not available in this text-only node.
