Kimi K3: input -20%, output unchanged. New rate: 0.24 / 11.94 dollars per million tokens

The OpenRouter list price for Kimi K3 has not changed. Input now costs 0.24 dollars per million tokens (previously 0.30) and output 11.94 dollars (previously 11.94). For a typical request with 1,500 input and 2,200 output tokens that is a change of 0 percent. OpenRouter routes each model to several hosting providers, so a change like this can come from a different host rather than from the model maker.

The OpenRouter list price for Kimi K3 has not changed. Input now costs 0.24 dollars per million tokens (previously 0.30) and output 11.94 dollars (previously 11.94). For a typical request with 1,500 input and 2,200 output tokens that is a change of 0 percent. OpenRouter routes each model to several hosting providers, so a change like this can come from a different host rather than from the model maker.

In practice: generating a 1500-word article on this model costs about 0.0266 USD. For comparison, the cheapest models I currently track are Qwen 3.7 Flash (0,13 USD per million output tokens) and DeepSeek V4 Flash (0,15 USD).

A complete comparison of rates for all tracked models, converted to real tasks and USD, is updated daily in the AI cost calculator. Rates come from the OpenRouter public API and may differ from promotions at the provider itself.
