Moonshot's open model Kimi K2.7 Code undercuts GPT-5.5 and Claude by up to 12x on price per token

Summary

Moonshot AI has released Kimi K2.7 Code, an open-weights model with one trillion parameters built for programming. It still trails GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8 in coding benchmarks but costs a fraction of the price. So the key question isn't whether it's the best model, but whether the extra runs you get for the same budget make up for the gap in quality.
