Overview

MoonshotAI: Kimi K2.6 is a large language model API from Moonshot AI, part of its Kimi K2.6 model family. Priced at $0.550 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 6× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 262K-token context window (≈393 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. Beyond plain text it also accepts Image input, so it can be applied to multimodal tasks rather than text alone. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 43 (B grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
