## 4. Deployment
> [!Note]
> You can access Kimi K2's API on https://platform.moonshot.ai , we provide an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API for you.
>
> The Anthropic-compatible API maps temperature by `real_temperature = request_temperature * 0.6` for better compatiblity with existing applications.

Our model checkpoints are stored in block-fp8 format, you can find it on [Huggingface](https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct).

Currently, it is recommended to run Kimi-K2 on the following inference engines:

* vLLM
* SGLang
* KTransformers
* TensorRT-LLM

Deployment examples for vLLM and SGLang can be found in the [Model Deployment Guide](docs/deploy_guidance.md).
