kimi-k2.6 questions

Which providers serve kimi-k2.6?

kimi-k2.6 is available from 1 provider through Requesty: Sail Research Co.. 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 $1.00 per million input tokens and $4.00 per million output tokens on Sail Research Co., the cheapest endpoint. Prices vary by provider and region; the table above shows every endpoint. Those are the upstream provider rates: pay as you go adds 5% on top, or 0% if you bring your own provider keys.

Is kimi-k2.6 open weights?

Yes. kimi-k2.6 is an open-weights model from Moonshotai, 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 131K 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 1 provider 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 "sail/kimi-k2.6" only when you need one specific deployment and want no failover.

Route kimi-k2.6 through one endpoint

One key for 1 provider on this model and 600+ others. No markup on provider prices, automatic failover, caching built in.
