OpenClaw Kimi Coding Provider

Official OpenClaw provider plugin for Kimi Coding.

Install from OpenClaw:

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/kimi-provider
openclaw gateway restart

See https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/moonshot for setup and configuration.

Quota errors

Kimi can return HTTP 403 when a weekly usage limit is exhausted. OpenClaw treats explicit weekly, seven-day, or quota-reset errors as rate limits. Wait for the provider's quota window to reset or use another configured provider; replacing a valid API key does not restore quota. Invalid keys and access restrictions keep their authentication error handling.

Catalog notes

Model rows live in openclaw.plugin.json under modelCatalog.providers.kimi.

• k3 serves up to 1M context, tier-gated server-side; k3-256k is the cheaper 256K variant of the same weights. Both point at moonshot/kimi-k3 through upstreamModel, which keeps their compat capability tiers aligned with the moonshot catalog for the same model.
• Legacy k3[1m] was retired upstream and normalizes to k3 for shipped configurations.
• KIMI_K3_MODEL_IDS in provider-policy-api.ts must cover exactly the catalog rows that carry a K3 thinkingLevelMap; provider-catalog.test.ts asserts it.
