call it

model=
kimi-k2.6

requesty routes this id across every provider serving kimi-k2.6, picking on price and health and failing over automatically. the id stays valid when a provider changes underneath it

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="kimi-k2.6",    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 K2.6 is Moonshot AI's next-generation multimodal model, designed for long-horizon coding, coding-driven UI/UX generation, and multi-agent orchestration. It handles complex end-to-end coding tasks across Python, Rust, and Go, and can convert prompts and visual inputs into production-ready interfaces. Its agent swarm architecture scales to hundreds of parallel sub-agents for autonomous task decomposition - delivering documents, websites, and spreadsheets in a single run without human oversight.

questions 6

Which providers serve kimi-k2.6?
kimi-k2.6 is available from 5 providers through Requesty: DeepInfra Inc., Inceptron AB, Fireworks AI, Moonshot AI, Nebius AI. All endpoints share one OpenAI-compatible API and one key, and Requesty fails over between them automatically.
How much does kimi-k2.6 cost?
Pricing starts at $0.60 per million input tokens and $2.80 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-k2.6 open weights?
Yes. kimi-k2.6 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-k2.6?
kimi-k2.6 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-k2.6 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 "kimi-k2.6" or any endpoint id from the table above. The quickstart section shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.
Should I call kimi-k2.6 by its managed id or a provider id?
Use the managed id, "kimi-k2.6". Requesty picks which of the 5 providers serves each request based on price and health, and fails over when one degrades, so the id keeps working while the routing changes underneath it. There is also an EU-only id, "kimi-k2.6@eu", which routes the same way but only through EU-hosted providers. Send a provider id like "deepinfra/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6:flex" only when you need one specific deployment and want no failover.
