Kimi K2 Thinking is the greatest AI model ever. Here’s why…

From the creator

Kimi K2 Thinking is the best AI model I've ever used. In this video I go over why and show you how to build your own deep research app with it. Sign up for my free newsletter: https://www.alexfinn.ai/subscribe Follow my X: https://x.com/AlexFinnX My $300k/yr AI app: https://www.creatorbuddy.io/ Kimi: https://kimi.com Prompt to build your own Kimi Research app (I used Claude Code to build it): Build a Kimi K2 Thinking Demo App Create a web app that demonstrates the Kimi K2 Thinking model's extended reasoning and multi-tool capabilities. The app should: Tech Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v3, React Features: Accept research queries (e.g., "Compare Notion, Obsidian, and Roam Research") Display real-time thinking/reasoning as it happens Show all tool calls as they execute with arguments and results Display metrics (thinking tokens, tool calls, elapsed time, input/output tokens) Show final research report in markdown Tools: The model should have access to: web_search: Search the web for information (use Tavily API) analyze_data: Execute Python code for data analysis and visualization create_pdf_report: Generate professional PDF research reports UI Layout: Input area for research queries with 3 example prompts Metrics panel showing real-time stats Three-column layout showing: Thinking (left) | Tool Calls (middle) | Results (right) Each panel scrolls independently with 600px fixed height API: Use the Moonshot API (Kimi K2 Thinking model) with streaming responses Example Queries: "Research Notion, Obsidian, and Roam Research. Find pricing, create a comparison chart, and generate a PDF report." "Analyze the top 3 AI coding assistants. Research pricing and features, create visualizations, and export a PDF." "Research cloud storage providers. Find pricing tiers, calculate cost per GB, create a chart, and generate a PDF decision matrix." Environment Variables: MOONSHOT_API_KEY (from Moonshot AI) TAVILY_API_KEY (from Tavily) Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:39 Why Kimi is incredible 3:54 Benchmarks 4:58 When to use it 5:20 Demonstration 10:20 Instant code review 11:32 How to build your own Kimi researcher

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
