Kimi K3

Kimi K3 by moonshotai is offered by 88 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 80 of them. Its official list price is $3.00 per 1M input tokens and $15.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is CrofAI at $2.00 / $8.00 per 1M, about 9.0× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it. It also has 3 free ($0) channels and 5 covered by a paid subscription; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.

Artificial Analysis rates it 43.6 on the Intelligence Index, with 76.2 for coding and 50 for agentic tasks. Against its lowest blended price of $3.50 per 1M, that is roughly 12 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 44 tokens per second, with 3.74s to the first token. Running one task of the Artificial Analysis suite costs about $2.0001, which reflects how many tokens its reasoning consumes rather than the unit price alone.

The context window is 1,048,576 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 262,144 to 1,113,088, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, Video, and PDF. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
