Kimi Token API Pricing Comparison: How to Calculate K3, K2.7 Code, and K2.6 Input/Output Token Rates with Cache Hit Savings

Kimi Token API charges input and output tokens separately — K3 flagship is the most expensive, K2.7 Code standard is mid-range, and K2.6 multimodal is priced similarly to K2.7 Code but with a different positioning. All three support cache hit discounts, so production costs depend heavily on cache hit rate. Model-specific pricing should be confirmed against this page and the Moonshot Open Platform documentation.

Kimi Token API Top-Up, Balance Deduction, and Whether Free Quota or Batch Discounts Are Available

Top up your balance on the Moonshot Open Platform at platform.kimi.com and charges are deducted per token consumption. File extraction APIs have had limited-time free access, but there's no permanent free quota for model calls. Batch jobs suit offline throughput scenarios and follow separate billing. Check platform announcements for current top-up promotions and deals.

Kimi Token API Official Entry, API Key Application, and Configuration for Claude Code, Cline, and Roo Code

Kimi Token API's entry is the Moonshot Open Platform at platform.kimi.com — register and create an API key in the console. For Claude Code, Cline, Roo Code, and similar tools, configure using the OpenAI-compatible API format. The Open Platform console and kimi.com membership entry are separate systems; API keys and membership quotas are not interchangeable.

Kimi Token API Cache Hit Discount: Cost Optimization Strategy and Cache Pricing Comparison for K3, K2.7 Code, and K2.6

Kimi K3, K2.7 Code, and K2.6 all support automatic context caching with cache-hit input pricing significantly lower than uncached. The biggest savings come in tools like Claude Code or coding agents that frequently reuse context. In production, treat cache hit rate as a key cost metric. Cache-hit pricing per model should be confirmed against this page and the official documentation.

Kimi Token API Rate Limits and Quota: Tier0-Tier5 RPM/TPM Concurrency Caps and Account Upgrade Guide

Kimi Token API quota is your account balance, while rate limits are tied to Tier0–Tier5 based on cumulative recharge, with RPM, TPM, and concurrency scaling per tier. Before launch, verify your account tier can support expected traffic, not just model unit price. Specific rate limit values and upgrade thresholds follow the Moonshot Open Platform console.
