Kimi K2.5 in Cursor

Are you concerned about security issues, I think the kimi code extension is still in technical preview?

Also does it allow the agent swarm feature?

I can’t imagine how this would work for regular development. Imagine the merge conflicts if 100 devs work on the same app.

What are they waiting for to implement the model natively?

They’re waiting for Trump’s sovereign approval at the national level.

Honestly am surprised it has not been added yet. as far as i know, this model is genuinely fun and good to use

I got the KimiK2.5 running on CURSOR using the ā€œoverride Open ai urlā€ feature.
The inference url: https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1 Fireworks is blazingly fast, but you will soon hit rate limits.

Bruh they integrated Opus 4.6 right away. We’re still left waiting for Kimi K2.5

@Colin when can we expect integration? What’s up with the holdup?

Kimi K2.5 is absurdly cheap. If users realize a near-free model handles most coding tasks, the justification for $60–$200/month tiers falls apart. Those tiers exist because serving expensive models like Opus costs real money. I’d happily keep paying $20/month and use K2.5, that’s actually more margin for Cursor. But the risk for them is that users stop upgrading. Classic cannibalization dilemma. Would love transparency from the Cursor team on whether this is on the roadmap.

That’s spot on analysis. I think what they should do instead is just promote agent swarms if they still wanna justify value for power users, so users still can burn tokens and demand for highter tiers, rather than artificially limit access to models

I don’t think they can charge whatever they want, because open-source software will provide better and cheaper alternatives once it has caught up. Cursor is obviously playing the money game, but not for long.
