Strengths

  • Available in the Kimi web and mobile apps, Kimi Code and the Kimi API, plus a faster Highspeed variant
  • Native visual understanding with a 1M-token context window
  • Full model weights are scheduled for public release by November 4, 2026

Considerations

  • Output speed is slower than average and answers are verbose
  • Newly launched, so independent long-term evaluations are still limited
  • Costs more per token than the earlier Kimi K2 series

Price

API about $2 input / $10 output per 1M tokens via the Kimi API (per Artificial Analysis); open weights due by Nov 4, 2026
