Notes:
temperature is not sent by this extension. I am letting API handle it by itself. Chinese providers are better at handling these stuff by themselves, and I don't want to mess with it.
safety_identifier is not sent.
Default Headers
Currently, Kimi wouldn't accept ANY clients so we need to send extra headers to larp as an accepted client.
Each request includes:
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>
User-Agent: KimiCLI/<version>
X-Msh-Platform: kimi_cli
X-Msh-Version: <version>
X-Msh-Device-Name: <hostname>
X-Msh-Device-Id: <generated device id>
Streaming and Tools
Streaming responses are consumed as SSE (data: lines).
Tool calls are collected from streamed deltas and emitted when the model finishes with tool_calls.
