# Modified MIT — what it permits, and which models carry it

2 of the 24 models in the AI Token Router catalogue are published under Modified MIT: Kimi K2.6 and Kimi K3. The base text permits commercial use; the publisher's modifications are not characterised here.

Modified MIT is the standard MIT text carrying Moonshot AI's own modifications, so its base terms allow commercial use, modification and redistribution with the notices preserved, while the modifications — the entire reason for the qualifier — are set by the document and are not inferable from the name.

Commercial use: **Yes, with conditions** — The standard text this licence is built on allows commercial use. The publisher's modifications are not summarised here and may add conditions.

## Permits

- Whatever the underlying MIT text permits: commercial use, modification and redistribution

## Requires

- Keep the notice the MIT base text requires
- Read Moonshot AI's modifications before you ship — they are not summarised here, because the name does not support a summary

## Restricts

- Not determinable from the name. Whether Moonshot AI's changes narrow commercial use, attach an attribution condition or set a threshold is a question the licence text answers and this page cannot

## Models under Modified MIT

**Availability:** 7 of the 24 catalogued models are callable today. The rest are listed at their intended rate but no configured upstream serves them, so a request naming one returns `no available channel`. Every table below marks which is which.

## Questions

### Can I use Modified MIT models commercially?

The MIT text it is built on permits commercial use, modification and redistribution with the notices preserved. Whether Moonshot AI's modifications narrow that for your deployment is a question the licence text answers and this page cannot, so read it before you ship anything that depends on the answer. This is a reference, not legal advice. It exists so you can arrive at your own counsel with a sharper question than whether you are allowed to use the model.

### What does Modified MIT require me to do?

Keep the notice the MIT base text requires. Read Moonshot AI's modifications before you ship — they are not summarised here, because the name does not support a summary. Nothing beyond that list is stated here, because nothing beyond it follows from what the catalogue records — the licence name.

### Which models under Modified MIT can I call today?

All 2 of them: Kimi K2.6, Kimi K3. Across the whole catalogue, 7 of 24 models are callable today; this family is entirely on the callable side of that.

This is a reference, not legal advice. It exists so you can arrive at your own counsel with a sharper question than whether you are allowed to use the model.
