Which is cheaper, deepseek-v3.2 or kimi-k2?
deepseek-v3.2 is cheaper. deepseek-v3.2 costs $0.56/$1.68 per 1M input/output tokens, while kimi-k2 costs $0.60/$2.50.
Can I use deepseek-v3.2 and kimi-k2 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch between "vertex/deepseek-v3.2" and "vertex/kimi-k2", no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
deepseek-v3.2 supports up to 164K tokens of context. kimi-k2 supports up to 262K tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
