Our checks
Every minute we contact Kimi's public addresses from Cloudflare's network. Bot protection and missing API keys often cause 401, 403 or 404 replies; those still show the service is reachable.
| Address | Result | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Website www.kimi.com | ✅ Reachable (200) | 5250 ms |
| API api.moonshot.ai/v1/models | ✅ Reachable (401: needs a key, as expected) | 5016 ms |

Not working for you? Try this
- Website, sign-in or search?Moonshot lists the website, sign-in, file uploads and search separately. If only uploads or search fail, check those lines in the official status above; chatting may still work.
- Try without search or uploadsIf a question fails with web search on or a file attached, try it without them. That tells you whether only that feature is affected.
- Start a new chatVery long conversations with many files are more likely to fail. A fresh chat with only what you need often goes through.
- Check your networkSome networks restrict Chinese AI services. If Kimi never loads on one network but works on mobile data, it's being blocked there rather than down.
- API users: read the status codeA 401 means a missing or wrong API key. Errors in the 500s are on Moonshot's side; retry after a short wait. Moonshot also lists individual models on its status page.

Questions about Kimi outages
Who makes Kimi?
Kimi is made by Moonshot AI. Its status page lives at status.moonshot.cn and covers both the Kimi app and the Moonshot API.
Is the Kimi API down when kimi.com is down?
Not necessarily. Moonshot lists the website and the API services separately, and we show both on this page.
Is Kimi down or blocked where I am?
If it works on mobile data but not on your usual network, it's being blocked on that network. If it fails everywhere and the status above shows problems, it's down.
