Kimi K2.6 Thinking Azure pricing
Read model rates and estimates
Compare models using the same deployment type, price region, and workload. Input, output, cache-read, and cache-write prices are separate categories.
Missing rates do not mean free usage. A listed price does not guarantee deployment availability or quota.
Kimi K2.6 Thinking costs $0.95 input and $4.00 output per 1M tokens on Azure (Global Standard). Compare 2 deployment types across 35 price regions.

Cost examples
Customize workloadMonthly token costs in USD, with no cache writes. Select a cost to adjust that workload. Long-context workloads are shown separately.
3,000 input and 1,000 output tokens per request; 10,000 requests per month.
Global Standard
- No cached input / month
- $68.50
- 50% cached input / month
- Published cached input prices are missing for this workload in one or more matching price regions. Select a region with complete prices.

Per-request costs
| Deployment type | No cached input | 50% cached input |
|---|---|---|

| Data Zone Standard | $0.008135 - $0.014 | $0.006832 - $0.009764 |
How token costs are calculated
For each region and deployment type, multiply each token category by its matching rate, then divide the sum by 1,000,000. Monthly estimates multiply that request cost by the number of requests. Ranges price complete workloads in each region, so input and output rates from different regions are never combined.
Request cost = (uncached input tokens × input rate + cached input tokens × cached input rate + cache-write input tokens × cache-write rate + output tokens × output rate) / 1,000,000.
The cached example assumes half of the input tokens are eligible cache reads on every request. Actual cache hit rates and cache creation charges depend on the deployment. Missing cache rates are not replaced with ordinary input rates.
Estimates cover the displayed token categories before taxes, negotiated discounts, and separate hosting, tools, media, or provisioned-capacity charges.
Some token limits are unknown. Verify that your deployment supports the workload before using these estimates.
