So far, it's just a flash-banner on their `/code` page. I don't see any announcement other than folks mentioning that they are getting email announcements about its release.

I could not find any info who is behind kimi-k2.org. There is no info on the site itself and no one has that site in its bio. There are some people and repos treating that site as official site of Moonshot AI, but it is not. The footer cleary says:

> kimi-k2.org is an unofficial resource site dedicated to Kimi K2, offering objective and comprehensive information along with practical use cases. The site is completely free to access with no login required. (…) Not affiliated with MoonshotAI. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

It is accessible to paying subscribers and shown as K2.6-code-preview in the console [0] [1].
