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.

Streaming + caching
"stream": true for SSE. Automatic prompt caching — for long
prompts, cache hits are the highest-leverage cost optimisation.
