Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 Code — a 1T-parameter MoE (32B active, 384 experts), 256K context, Modified MIT license — is being promoted across r/LocalLLaMA as the local alternative now that Fable 5/Mythos 5 are inaccessible. Its headline number is 81.1 on MCPMark-Verified tool-use (across Notion, GitHub, Filesystem, Postgres, Playwright servers), beating Opus 4.8's 76.4, plus vendor-claimed +21.8% on Kimi Code Bench v2 with 30% fewer reasoning tokens. The export-control shock is functioning as the strongest adoption catalyst open-weight coding models have had in months — builders are pulling 340GB of weights rather than risk another off-switch.
