MoonshotAI: Kimi Latest accepts text, image, and video input and returns text output. It offers a context window of 1,048,576 tokens and allows up to 943,718 completion tokens, so very long documents and lengthy generated responses fit within a single request. The model supports tool calling and reasoning. Structured output support and open-weights status are not specified in the available listing data. The pricing is unusually lopsided: input costs $0.1567 per million tokens, while output costs $10.1398 per million. That structure suits workloads that feed in large volumes of material and ask for short answers, such as long-document review, multimodal analysis of images or video, or tool-driven retrieval tasks. Generation-heavy jobs will be dominated by the output rate and should be priced carefully against alternatives. No independent benchmarks cover this model yet, so its quality is unproven; teams shortlisting it should run their own evaluations before committing.
