Kimi K3 took first place in Arena's Frontend Code evaluation the week it launched, and it holds a 1M-token context — but Moonshot doesn't ship a coding agent, and your coding agent doesn't ship Kimi K3. Claude Code is locked to Anthropic's API by default, Cursor to its own backend, Cline to whatever key you hand it.
LLM Gateway bridges that gap. It speaks both the Anthropic and OpenAI API formats, so the tools you already use can run Kimi K3 — or any of 200+ models — with a base-URL change. Here is the exact setup for each tool.

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.llmgateway.io
