Moonshot AI
The Kimi API docs list Kimi K2.6 as the current agentic model with text, image and video input, 256K context and thinking/non-thinking modes, alongside K2.5, K2 and Moonshot V1 models. The platform documents OpenAI API compatibility, streaming, multimodal input and pay-as-you-go pricing.
Editorial verdict
Developers evaluating Chinese long-context, coding and agentic models through an international API.
Avoid assuming consumer Kimi behavior or limits match API behavior.
Kimi's developer path is now separated through K2.6 and the English API platform, so it should be distinct from the consumer assistant.
Pay-as-you-go API pricing varies by Kimi K2 and Moonshot model
Pay-as-you-go API billing, Platform billing, Enterprise sales
Commercial use should follow the current product, API, model license and billing terms.
Review prompt, file, media upload, retention and training-use terms before sensitive workloads.
Use K2.6 or Moonshot V1 for long-context prompts, file-like workloads and complex reasoning checks.
K2.6 is documented with text, image and video input for agentic tasks.
Model names, quotas, release status, regional access and commercial terms can change quickly; recheck official sources before procurement or production use.
