Kimi's this settlement can be considered a reassurance for the community. The issue of User-Agent misjudgment is indeed easy to fall into traps; it's good to be able to adjust promptly.

On May 26, the Kimi Code team from the “Dark Side of the Moon” reached a settlement with the open-source community, resolving the subscription risk “double standards” crisis. Leechael removed extreme remarks and confirmed that pi-provider-kimi-code will continue to be maintained; paid users can continue to use tools such as Pi Coding Agent. Young explained that the risk-control upgrade led to unintended harm because User-Agent was used as one of the criteria, without fully considering third-party Code Agents. Misunderstandings caused by time differences and delayed cross-platform communication have now been resolved: the risk control has been adjusted, restricted accounts have been restored, and efforts are underway to actively optimize User-Agent-based determinations. After the settlement, both sides rebuilt trust, and developers began writing a guide for prefix cache optimization.
