Kimi K2.7 Code
a trillion-parameter agentic coder under 'modified mit' — where the modification only bites if you get very big.
excellent at the job it was built for, with a licence quirk almost nobody will hit — but which press coverage summarising it as 'mit' never mentions.
the modification to mit is a single scale-triggered clause: if your product passes 100 million monthly active users or $20 million in monthly revenue, you must display 'kimi k2.7 code' prominently in its interface. below that it behaves as plain mit — no revenue share, no field-of-use ban, no geographic limit. it is one of the milder terms in this category, and it is buried in the licence file rather than in any announcement.
the model is a 1t-parameter mixture-of-experts with 32b active across 384 experts and a 256k context, tuned for long-horizon real-world software engineering. moonshot reports it using roughly 30% fewer thinking tokens than k2.6 for comparable completion, which matters when you're paying per token.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
