Quickstart

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="nvai-your-key",
    base_url="https://aiapi-pro.com/v1"
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="kimi-k2.7-code",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Important: temperature is fixed at 1

For all Kimi K2.5/K2.6/K2.7 models, the provider fixes temperature=1. If you pass a different value it is ignored — do not rely on temperature tuning for these models. Use prompt design and top_p for output control instead.
