About this site

Kimi K3 Token Hub started in July 2026, the week Moonshot AI announced Kimi K3. We were budgeting an agentic coding workload, found the pricing information scattered across launch posts, third-party blogs and router listings — much of it contradictory — and built the calculator we wished existed. The site grew from that one tool into a maintained reference for K3's token economics: pricing, context math, API setup and deployment tracking.

Editorial rules

• Primary sources only for facts. Every article cites at least three sources, at least two of them first-party (official docs, Hugging Face, vendor announcements). Third-party blogs inform angles, never facts.
• One registry for numbers. Prices and specs live in a single data file with a source URL and verification date — the "Last verified" stamps you see across the site. A change upstream updates every page at once.
• Estimates are labeled. Where Moonshot hasn't published a number (cached-input rate, active parameters), we say so and show our arithmetic instead of presenting guesses as specs.
• No copied content. Everything here is written for this site. Quotes are short, marked, and attributed.

Independence

kimik3token.com is an independent, unofficial resource. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Moonshot AI. 'Kimi' is a trademark of its respective owner.

We currently have no commercial relationship with Moonshot AI, OpenRouter, or any vendor mentioned. If the site later carries advertising, ads will be clearly distinguishable from content and will never influence the numbers we publish.

How the site works under the hood

The site is a fully static Next.js build: every page you see was prerendered from a git repository, and every number on it comes from one JSON registry that stores each model's prices and specs together with a source URL and a verification date. Articles are written in MDX with enforced frontmatter — the build literally fails if a post ships without at least three cited sources, two of them first-party, or if two pages target the same primary keyword. The calculators run entirely in your browser: the token counter loads Moonshot's published tokenizer via WebAssembly, so the text you paste never reaches a server, and the cost model is a single audited function shared by every page that mentions a dollar figure.

What this site is not

We are not a login portal, a reseller, or a mirror of the Kimi chat service — if a site that looks like this one asks for your Moonshot credentials, close it. We don't publish sponsored posts disguised as reviews, we don't scrape or republish other outlets' articles, and we don't use engagement tricks like fake countdowns or "exclusive leaked benchmarks". When we speculate — pre-release hardware math, for example — the speculation is labeled and the arithmetic is shown.
