Market position
On blended price ($2.63 per 1M tokens at 30% input, 70% output) it is cheaper than 64% of models in the Mid-range price tier: 42nd cheapest of 115. Across every price tier it is cheaper than 34% of priced text models in the catalogue: 201st cheapest of 304. No Arena score has been published for Kimi K2.7 Code, so this page does not rank it on quality and OptimNow's quality bars do not apply to it. 67 of the 115 models we list in the Mid-range price tier carry one. An unranked model is unmeasured, not poor: the benchmark needs votes, and a recent release has not had time to collect them.
Licence, size and capabilities
Kimi K2.7 Code is open weights, which is not the same as open source: the weights are published, but under Modified MIT, a licence that restricts some uses. Read it before self-hosting commercially. Its parameter count is not published. Listed capabilities: Text, Vision, Reasoning, Agents. Filling its 262K context window once costs $0.1572 in input tokens at list price.
Pricing by host
A host is a company that runs the model and sells it by the token: the model maker, a cloud platform like Amazon Bedrock, Azure or Vertex, or an independent host. One model, several hosts, and often several prices. This model is sold by 10 different hosts. The price we quote elsewhere on this page is marked. We quote one host's rate so that models stay comparable; it is not a recommendation to buy there.
Cheapest host: CoreWeave at $0.60 input / $3.00 output per 1M tokens, 13% below the price we quote on the blended price (30% input, 70% output). It serves a quantized int4 build, which is not the same product as the full-precision model. A support ticket workload at 100K requests a month costs $240.00 there against $265.00 at the price we quote, a difference of $25.00 a month. The dearest, Cloudflare, charges 1.4x the cheapest.

List prices as published on 2026-11-14, via OpenRouter. Negotiated rates, committed-use discounts and provisioned capacity are not shown. These hosts do not all serve the model at the same numeric precision, so the cheapest is not a like-for-like substitute for the dearest. These listings are promotional rates, below the host's standard rate: StreamLake's, 25% off; and Novita's, 4% off.
Monthly cost at 100K requests, by business use case
From the after-discounts figure (prompt caching on the cached input share, batch API for async workloads, only where Moonshot publishes those rates), which assumes you implement both, to the list price. One figure means no discount is published.
