Decision checklist
Use this section to keep the next step practical before you touch accounts, files, infrastructure, or hardware.
| Check | Look for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Read the official source | Start with the model card, help center, docs, or official product page before trusting summaries. | Model names, limits, and prices change. |
| Name the path | Decide whether you need a hosted app, API call, local client, or full self-managed deployment. | Different paths have different costs and account boundaries. |
| Check the boundary | Keep login, payment, API keys, private files, and account settings on the official surface. | A public guide should help you choose, not handle sensitive actions. |
| Keep evidence | Save the source link, date, version, and practical next step that shaped your decision. | This makes later review easier for a team. |
How to read the facts
API token billing
Kimi API is billed per request by input and output token volume. Kimi K3 has flat pricing rather than a higher price for the full 1M context window.
K3Nova boundary
Use K3Nova pricing only when you are paying for the independent K3Nova workspace path, not official Kimi membership or API credits.
