Evidence
  • ✓ exact tokenizer signature shared with 4 models

Identity statement

MoonshotAI: Kimi K2 Thinking is Moonshot AI's model, and its measured tokenizer sits in Moonshot AI's own signature group alongside its sibling models. Measured models from Fireworks carry the same vocabulary, which reads as reuse of Moonshot AI's tokenizer line and questions nobody's authorship; they are listed under "Shares this fingerprint" below.

The measured fingerprint

What each test string cost this model, in tokens

We sent MoonshotAI: Kimi K2 Thinking fifty short pieces of text and recorded what each one cost it in tokens. The bars below are those costs. Two models built on the same tokenizer produce the same bars; a model built on a different one produces a different set, which is what makes this a fingerprint.
