Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA's hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Supported Runtime Engine(s):

• vLLM
  

Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:

• NVIDIA Blackwell
  

Preferred Operating System(s):

• Linux
  The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

Model Version(s):

The model version is Kimi-K2.7-Code NVFP4 version 1.0 and is quantized with nvidia-modelopt v0.44.0

Inference:

Acceleration Engine: vLLM
Test Hardware: NVIDIA B200

Post Training Quantization

This model was obtained by converting and quantizing the weights and activations of Kimi-K2.7-Code from INT4 to BF16 to NVFP4 data type, ready for inference with vLLM. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks in MoE are quantized.

Usage

To serve this checkpoint with vLLM, you can start the docker vllm/vllm-openai:latest and run the sample command below:

python3 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model nvidia/Kimi-K2.7-Code-NVFP4 --tensor-parallel-size 4 --tool-call-parser kimi_k2 --reasoning-parser kimi_k2 --trust-remote-code

Evaluation

The accuracy benchmark results are presented in the table below:

Precision	SciCode	τ²-Bench Telecom	AA-LCR	Terminal Bench 2.1	SWE-bench Verified
Baseline (INT4)	47.4	88.3	69.5	71.9	74.1
NVFP4	48.2	91.4	69.3	72.5	74.3

Baseline: Kimi-K2.7-Code in its native INT4 format. Benchmarked with temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95, max num tokens 64000.

Model Limitations:

The base model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.

Ethical Considerations

NVIDIA believes Trustworthy AI is a shared responsibility and we have established policies and practices to enable development for a wide array of AI applications. When downloaded or used in accordance with our terms of service, developers should work with their internal model team to ensure this model meets requirements for the relevant industry and use case and addresses unforeseen product misuse.
