This update is all about making the Kimi command line tool smoother and less frustrating to use. It matters most to developers and power users who rely on this tool to code or get quick answers, because it fixes annoying glitches that used to freeze the web interface and makes the AI's "thinking" process visible right on your screen.
What's new
- See the AI think: In the shell (your computer's text-based command screen), the "thinking stream" is now turned on by default. This means you get to watch the AI's step-by-step reasoning appear live on your screen as it works, rather than just waiting for the final answer.
Improvements
- Cleaner history logs: The official release notes for the previous version (1.34.0) were accidentally put in the "unreleased" folder. The team fixed the paperwork so the past changelogs are organized in the right place.
Fixes
- Unfreezing the web app: If the web version of the tool hit an error while it was generating text, it used to leave a "stale in-flight prompt" behind. Basically, the system thought it was still working on a question, which caused a "deadlock" (the app would completely freeze and say it was busy). This update clears out that broken data so you can keep using the app.
- Stopping annoying interruptions: The tool has a background "watchdog" program that automatically reconnects you if the internet drops. Before, this watchdog would trigger while the AI was waiting for you to approve an action or answer a question. This would interrupt your conversation. The watchdog is now paused until you're done interacting.
