call it

model=
vertex/kimi-k2

this model has no managed policy yet, so call the provider endpoint directly. every id in the endpoints table works the same way

Base url is https://router.requesty.ai/v1 for every id here. One key reaches the whole catalog.

quickstart

openai compatible
main.py
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(    api_key="YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY",    base_url="https://router.requesty.ai/v1",) response = client.chat.completions.create(    model="vertex/kimi-k2",    messages=[        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one paragraph."},    ],) print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Change the base url, use your Requesty key, set the model to any id in the call pane. Existing OpenAI SDK code needs no other edit, and the same key reaches every other model in the catalog, so switching later is a one-parameter change. Browse all models

notes

reference

Kimi K2 Thinking is an open-source model that operates as a "thinking agent," reasoning step-by-step while using tools to achieve state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks. It is capable of executing up to 200-300 sequential tool calls without human intervention, allowing it to solve complex problems across a wide range of tasks. The model uses Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) to support INT4 inference, which provides a roughly 2x improvement in generation speed.

questions 5

Which providers serve kimi-k2?
kimi-k2 is available from 1 provider through Requesty: Google LLC (Vertex AI). All endpoints share one OpenAI-compatible API and one key, and Requesty fails over between them automatically.
How much does kimi-k2 cost?
Pricing starts at $0.60 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens on the cheapest provider. Prices vary by provider and region; the table above shows every endpoint. Requesty charges exactly what the upstream provider charges, with no markup.
Is kimi-k2 open weights?
Yes. kimi-k2 is an open-weights model from Moonshot AI, which is why multiple inference providers can host it. Provider choice affects price, latency, and data-privacy terms, all compared above.
What is the context window of kimi-k2?
kimi-k2 supports up to 262K tokens of context, with up to 262K output tokens per response. Some providers expose a smaller window; check the per-endpoint context column above.
How do I use kimi-k2 with the OpenAI SDK?
Install the OpenAI SDK, set base_url to "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", set your API key to your Requesty key, and set the model to "vertex/kimi-k2" or any endpoint id from the table above. The quickstart section shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.

route kimi-k2 through one endpoint

One key for 1 provider on this model and 600+ others. No markup on provider prices, automatic failover, caching built in. Weekly aggregates in the measured pane come from production traffic routed through Requesty, one line per provider on a shared axis. Methodology
