 "details": "Kimi-K2-Instruct: the chat template changed and renders differently (system+user, tool-call); prompts rendered with the old one no longer match what the model now expects, so cached prompts and eval sets need re-rendering (2025-08-11).\n\nRepository: https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct. Revisions from b215bf7476a2287207d8f7f519eaccb136144512 onward carry this change; a pin at 6a1f5e6be5b1ddfd220836faed223dd70fbc091e or earlier does not.\n\nChanged keys:\n- tokenizer chat_template_sha256: 454036503ee2fc14 -> aa8b293348ddc405 (template)\n\nThis record says what the change does mechanically. It is not a report that anything broke for anyone.",
