i am trying to change the model to k3
ry K3 in a new session: switching models invalidates the cache you've built up. Start a new session to avoid extra token costs and get a better experience.
Fill in the Model ID, not the model version name: when calling a model, use one of the Model IDs from the table above (k3, kimi-for-coding, kimi-for-coding-highspeed). Entering a model version name like Kimi K3 or K2.7 Code will cause the call to fail.
K3 / K2.7 without Thinking routes to K2.6: keep Thinking on to use K3 or K2.7 Code; disabling thinking routes the request to K2.6.
Ways to switch to the target model:
Official clients
Official Kimi Code CLI: type /model to switch models—no config changes needed; if the latest model isn't listed yet, /logout and sign in again with /login.
Kimi Code for VS Code: pick the target model from the dropdown menu in the input bar; if it isn't listed yet, restart VS Code or reinstall the extension.
Third-party tools
Set the tool's Model ID to the target model. Detailed steps:
Create an API Key in the Kimi Code Console.
Fill in the Base URL and the corresponding Model ID in your tool.
Kimi Code API supports both OpenAI and Anthropic protocols. Base URLs:
Protocol Base URL
OpenAI compatible https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1
Anthropic compatible https://api.kimi.com/coding/

It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\n\nWhat makes Hermes different:\n\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\n\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\n\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\n\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubuserco

Done — model is now set to `k3` with provider `kimi-coding`.
Current config:
- `model.default`: k3
- `model.provider`: kimi-coding
- `agent.reasoning_effort`: medium (Thinking is ON, so K3 won't route to K2.6)
To use it, **start a new Hermes session** (`/new` in chat, or exit and run `hermes` again). Model changes don't apply mid-session because of prompt caching.
If you want to see the reasoning/thinking tokens in output, run:
```bash
hermes config set display.show_reasoning true
```
That also needs a new session to take effect.
