kimi-k2.6 — API, Pricing & Context Window | Vivgrid

kimi-k2.6 is Moonshot AI's capable coding model, notable for a 262K-token context window paired with an exceptionally large 256K-token max output. That combination suits agents that both read and generate large volumes of code.

Vivgrid serves kimi-k2.6 through its unified, OpenAI-compatible API, letting you route Moonshot alongside other providers with a single key and billing surface.

Specifications

Pricing

Pricing in USD per 1M tokens, matching the provider's rates.

What one request costs

The rates above applied to a 20K-token prompt with a 2K-token reply — a typical single agent turn, small enough that every request is billed at the base rate.

API surfaces

The Vivgrid Console catalogs kimi-k2.6 on one surface, all behind the same API key. The endpoint shown is the one the Console previews for that surface.

Quick start

Get an API key from the Vivgrid Console, then call kimi-k2.6 directly.

curl https://api.vivgrid.com/v1/chat/completions \

  -d '{
    "model": "kimi-k2.6",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Say hello in English, Chinese and Spanish." }
    ],
    "stream": true
  }'
