Kimi K2.7 API — retired

Kimi K2.7 (also written “Kimi 2.7”) was Moonshot’s frontier agentic and coding model. It was served in the Frontier Pool until August 2026, when it was retired. The pool continues with GLM 5.2 and MiniMax M3 at the same flat price; for the Kimi family, Kimi K3 — the current Moonshot flagship — is served in the Flagship Pool.

What this means

Section titled “What this means”
  • Requests with model: "kimi-k2.7" now return an invalid-model error.
  • Frontier Pool subscriptions are unchanged: GLM 5.2 and MiniMax M3 remain served with no token caps.
  • GET /v1/models is always the authoritative live list.

Migrate in one line

Change the model id — the endpoint, key, and subscription stay the same:

from openai import OpenAI


client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.cheapestinference.com/v1",
    api_key="sk-..."  # your subscriber key
)


response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="glm-5.2",  # was "kimi-k2.7" — or "minimax-m3" for 1M context
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Refactor this function..."}],
)

Common questions

Section titled “Common questions”

Is Kimi K2.7 still available? Not on CheapestInference — it was retired from the Frontier Pool in August 2026. Frontier subscribers keep unlimited GLM 5.2 and MiniMax M3; the Kimi family lives on in the Flagship Pool with Kimi K3.

Do I need a new subscription or key? No. The same Frontier Pool subscription and API key serve GLM 5.2 and MiniMax M3 — just change the model id. Using Kimi K3 requires a Flagship Pool subscription.
