Compare AI models
| Specifications | ||
ParametersA rough measure of how big the model is. More parameters usually means more capable and more expensive to run, though it is a poor guide on its own — a smaller, newer model often beats a larger, older one. | 1T | — |
Context windowHow much text the model can hold in mind at once — your question, any documents you attach, the conversation so far, and its own reply. Go past it and the earliest part falls out of view. | 256k | 128k |
| API pricingUSD per 1M tokens · lower wins | ||
Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it. | — | $10.00 |
Output priceWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one. | — | $30.00 |
Cheapest inputLowest input rate across third-party providers, excluding the lab itself. The cheapest endpoint may run a quantised build or a shorter context — see "Available from" on the model page. | $0.60Google | $10.00OpenAI |
Cheapest outputLowest output rate across third-party providers, excluding the lab itself. May come from a different provider than the cheapest input. | $2.50Google | $30.00OpenAI |
These models have no shared benchmark scores. | ||
SWE-Bench VerifiedCoding — Real coding tasks pulled from open-source projects — the AI has to find and fix actual bugs. A human-checked version of the original SWE-Bench. Higher is better. | 71.3% | — |
GPQA DiamondScience — Graduate-level science questions in biology, physics, and chemistry — hard enough that subject-matter PhDs score around 65%. Higher is better. | — | 42.5% |

Kimi K2 Thinking and GPT-4 Turbo don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. Only GPT-4 Turbo has a verified first-party API price: $10.00 per million input tokens and $30.00 per million output tokens. No pay-as-you-go API rate is tracked for Kimi K2 Thinking. GPT-4 Turbo shipped 731 days before Kimi K2 Thinking, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.
Context windows are 256k (Kimi K2 Thinking) vs 128k (GPT-4 Turbo). Kimi K2 Thinking is open weight, while GPT-4 Turbo is closed.
