Specifications
ParametersThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality.
1T—
Context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider.

Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it.
$0.60$0.25
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.
$3.00$2.00
Cached input priceA reduced rate for text you send over and over. If every request starts with the same instructions or the same document, the provider keeps a copy ready and charges less to read it again.

Frequently asked questions

Kimi K2.5 and GPT-5 mini don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. GPT-5 mini is cheaper on both input and output: $0.25 vs $0.60 per million input tokens, and $2.00 vs $3.00 per million output tokens. GPT-5 mini shipped 173 days before Kimi K2.5, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.

Context windows are 256k (Kimi K2.5) vs 400k (GPT-5 mini). Kimi K2.5 is open weight, while GPT-5 mini is closed.
