On 10 November 2026, Moonshot AI published Kimi Code 2.5.3, a stable patch of its coding tool. This is not a new public model, not a canary build, and not a change to pricing, free credits, or plan allowances.
The GitHub Release @moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.5.3 was published at 21:06:23 Asia/Shanghai on 10 November 2026. It is a regular release, not a draft and not a prerelease.
On the npm package @moonshot-ai/kimi-code, the latest tag pointed to 2.5.3 at 21:12:36 Asia/Shanghai the same day. That npm timestamp is a separate official record from the GitHub Release time.
The previous stable GitHub release, @moonshot-ai/kimi-code@2.5.2, was published at 15:48:19 Asia/Shanghai on 6 November 2026.
The release notes below follow the GitHub Release and the changelog published with the 2.5.3 tag.
Those notes say steering now interrupts an in-progress model request and continues in the same turn. They also add POST /api/v1/sessions/{session_id}/steer for one-request message steering.
A web item in the same notes says only "Improved interactions and fixed known bugs." The notes do not list which interactions changed or which bugs were fixed.
The notes also say they fix stdio MCP servers configured with script commands such as npx that failed to start on Windows.
The npm canary tag remained 3.0.0-canary.20261109125038-713a200. GitHub also lists newer 2.6.0-canary prereleases. Those are not this stable 2.5.3 release.
