Kimi K2.5 API Keys Hit 401s

A Reddit user says fresh Moonshot keys for Kimi K2.5 are now returning `401 Invalid Authentication` from a UK VPS, even after retrying `/v1/models` and generating multiple new keys. Official docs currently point overseas users to `platform.moonshot.ai` and `api.moonshot.ai/v1`, so this may be a platform routing or endpoint mismatch rather than a pure geo-block.

// ANALYSIS

This reads more like an auth-policy or platform migration problem than a model bug, especially since brand-new keys fail immediately and the error happens before any model response.

  • The post uses `api.moonshot.cn/v1` from the UK, while current docs say overseas users should use `platform.moonshot.ai`; that endpoint split is a likely failure mode.
  • Hitting `401` on both `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/models` suggests the request is rejected at authentication, not by model selection or prompt formatting.
  • Three fresh keys failing in a row points to account-, project-, or platform-level enforcement, not a single bad secret.
  • The mismatch between the post's model string and the documented `kimi-k2.5` alias could trip wrappers, but the uniform 401 strongly suggests the key or base URL is the real issue.
  • For developers, the practical risk is downtime in agent/tooling setups that hardcode Moonshot endpoints and assume keys are portable across the China and overseas platforms.
