> Kimi 2.6 is a 1 trillion total / 32B active parameter model that's something comparable to Sonnet.

No it's not. On some rigged paper maybe. Some such benchmarks say all models group together, which they clearly do not.

> Sonnet's API pricing is $5 in, $15 out per million tokens. Deepinfra serves Kimi at $0.75 in, $3.50 out, and about the same at openrouter. So you're looking at a 4-7x multiple that Anthropic is charging compared to market rates that any plebe can get with a credit card.

That's not saying much. You can get "cloud" at AWS and you can get a VPS. There is likely a 10x difference. It's not "same". Whilst AWS costs more they also don't have 7x margins similarly.
