This page is buggy for me and doesn't show any plans. But when I go to their main pricing page, it's got some contradictory info about which plans include "Kimi Code". The $19 per month plan says that it comes with "Kimi Code available" but then shows an "X" near Kimi Code while the others have labels like "1x credits". So I guess they meant to say that it doesn't have it?

I got confused by that too.

The top table starts with the first paid model, but the second table starts with a free plan. So the X for Kimi Code is on the free plan, not the Moderato plan at the top that says Kimi Code available.

So far, it's just a flash-banner on their `/code` page. I don't see any announcement other than folks mentioning that they are getting email announcements about its release.

There are no benchmarks yet for that specific model:

I could not find any info who is behind kimi-k2.org. There is no info on the site itself and no one has that site in its bio. There are some people and repos treating that site as official site of Moonshot AI, but it is not. The footer cleary says:
