This is a price drop from Kimi K3 ($3/$15/$0.30) despite being a slightly larger model (3T vs. 2.8T params).
replyI'm glad I waited a day to post my analysis of LLM price cuts because it needs...an addition.
Are we sure this is a new pretrain and not them rounding up 2.8T?
replyLiterally from the linked announcement:
reply> Kimi K3.1 Pro is a post-trained version of Kimi K3, with substantially larger post-training compute
The Kimi K3 announcement (https://www.kimi.ai/blog/kimi-k3) used 2.8T and it would be weird to round that up for this announcement.
replyLooks like this post's using "3T-class", which I think I've seen them use before.
replyit's almost certainly rounding up 2.8T
replylol, price mtok mean nothing if they substantially generate more reasoning token that would just add more cost to the task
