How Kimi pricing scales
Input pricing varies 81% across the lineup ($0.56 → $3.00/1M). At 1M requests/month with ~1K input tokens, the cheapest variant costs roughly $0.56 while the flagship runs $3.00 — a 81% gap that compounds fast at scale. Output-token pricing follows the same tiering, so long-form generation amplifies the difference.
Which variant to pick
Kimi leans into reasoning and math, with 3 active variants priced $0.56–$3.00/1M input. The reasoning-tuned models suit multi-step logic and STEM tasks; use the lighter variants for throughput where step-by-step thinking isn't required.
Kimi notes
Kimi sits in the General Purpose category. Moonshot AI with exceptional long-form document processing and analysis. The 1M maximum context window (on Kimi K3) is the largest in this lineup — enough to ingest entire codebases or long documents in one call.
Cost in practice
Real-world fit: Kimi variants power document-understanding apps — OCR-free receipt parsing, screenshot-to-code, and visual Q&A. Cheaper vision variants handle high-volume extraction; the flagship tackles nuanced visual reasoning.
