@EMostaque @Kimi_Moonshot they are just juicing the margins
On Kimi K3 pricing being higher than DeepSeek etc at $15/m tokens: 1. It is optimised so it has very high cache hit rates (90% lower cost) 2. It is not optimised for large RAM (B300 etc) node clusters as @Kimi_Moonshot doesn't have access to them! Cost per token lower there
Positive users see Kimi K3 pricing as potentially much lower with RAM optimizations while negative users call the $15 figure misleading theater meant to juice margins.

@EMostaque @Kimi_Moonshot Thats awesome, means it can get substantially cheaper if they started optimizing it for large ram?
@EMostaque @Kimi_Moonshot The $15 sticker is theater, what you actually pay comes down to cache hits and whether you can get B300s.
