I have used Telnyx for, on the opposite end of cool-ness, their fax API. Curious if their AI pricing and quality are actually competitive or if this is just a rapid pivot to try to ride the AI wave.

10% cheaper than official! Let the inference pricing wars begin!

Is it also offered via a ZDR + BAA / HIPAA eligible? Would love to use it in prod

In my first interaction ("hi there kimi k3!"), Kimi K3 identified twice out of three times as Claude:

> Hi there! Quick note — I'm actually Claude, made by Anthropic, not Kimi. But no worries!

and

> Just a quick heads-up — I'm Claude, made by Anthropic, not Kimi! Kimi is a different AI assistant (made by Moonshot AI), so it looks like there might be a little mix-up.

Token Type Price per 1M tokens Cached Input $0.27 Input $2.70 Output $13.50

Looks like they are first vendor to undercut in price.

Is this an ad?

Why is this provider specifically on the front page?

Also why is this not available over openrouter?

  • Why are you guys not on Openrouter? I assume you'd get way more volume that way no?

    Or does openrouter have like a specific contract you have to sign with them and requirements or smth? https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3#providers
