Vendor: Moonshot Model ID: kimi-k2-6 Capability: 128K context · tool use · streaming · structured output · CJK-native Pricing: per-token, mid tier (live rate) Kimi K2.6 is the recommended starting point for new Chinese-market work on the gateway. Native CJK prompt understanding (sharper than non-Chinese flagships on idiom and document layout), 128K context window, tighter tool-call argument generation. For long-document extraction, agent flows where Chinese tone matters, and CJK-heavy summarisation, this is the default.
