Kimi CLI v1.48.0 Changelog
What changed in Kimi CLI v1.48.0, released 2026-06-22 β explained in plain English.
TLDR
- The AI is now smarter about knowing when to stop trying the same failing action over and over.
- Fixed a glitch where the AI's "thinking process" could get corrupted when it was completely empty.
- This update is a small but important quality-of-life upgrade for anyone using the Kimi command-line tool.
- This release is all about making the Kimi command-line tool (the text-based way to talk to the AI) smarter and less glitchy. It matters most to developers and power users who rely on the AI to do multi-step tasks, ensuring the tool doesn't get stuck in frustrating loops and handles its own internal data cleanly.

What's new
- Dead-end detection: The AI can now recognize when it's stuck in a loopβlike trying to use a tool that keeps failing. Instead of trying the exact same thing repeatedly, it will send you stronger warnings and eventually force itself to stop so you can take back control.
Fixes
- Empty "thinking" glitch fixed: Under the hood, the AI has a feature where it writes out its step-by-step reasoning before answering. Previously, if that reasoning was totally blank, the data could get scrambled when saving and loading it (a process developers call "round-tripping"). This update fixes that, so empty thoughts are handled safely without breaking anything.
Improvements
- Internal updates: The software's internal version numbers were bumped up (including a behind-the-scenes component called "kosong"). This helps keep everything running smoothly and up-to-date with the latest standards.
Breaking changes
No breaking changes in this release.
