Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Rate conditions

  1. Historical cookbook documentation, pinned at commit 25a9e46d2391dd4817d28ab980dac69eb59b582c: both input and output are billed at the listed token rate. Effective price date and later revisions are not established. Retired model; not a current offer. No currency conversion.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

Minimum reusable input
Not collected

Historical minimum prefix size unverified.

Lifetime & refresh
The accompanying request example sets ttl=3600; this is not a default or maximum TTL guaranteeSource for Lifetime & refresh (opens in a new tab)

Usage fields
Not collected

Historical accounting fields unverified.

Billing rules
Not collected

No verified historical cache rate attached; ordinary input prices do not establish a cache discount.

Limits & data boundaries
Legacy manual cache example. The current K3 automatic cache, TTL tiers and charges must not be assigned to v1.Source for Limits & data boundaries (opens in a new tab)

No verified cache rate for this endpoint. An empty rate is not a zero charge.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Inferred from the named proprietary API configuration or internal trained research model in official documentation, checked against the developer’s published-weight inventory. Exact weights for this release were not found. Current open-weight Kimi releases are excluded; API branding alone does not establish a separate checkpoint.
