Jevon's paradox depends on how cheap the tokens get as the price of tokens get driven to zero as intelligence gets better and cheaper.

Well this is a very large and expensive model. Try something like Qwen-7B if you want ultra-cheap.

Larger than Mythos? How is that?

I have used Telnyx for, on the opposite end of cool-ness, their fax API. Curious if their AI pricing and quality are actually competitive or if this is just a rapid pivot to try to ride the AI wave.

Bootleg AI

when open source models are banned maybe i will become a cartel kingpin smuggling open source weights into the usa. find a sufficiently shifty street corner, 'what do you need', "kimi". are you familiar with my product? pure mxfp4, $500 per TB.

That is not going to be cheap for long if K3 prices does the same as GLM5.2 prices. If nothing else open weight models are great to get providers to compeete on price.

Is this an ad?

Why is this provider specifically on the front page?

Also why is this not available over openrouter?

Why are you guys not on Openrouter? I assume you'd get way more volume that way no? Or does openrouter have like a specific contract you have to sign with them and requirements or smth? https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3#providers

Who is "you guys"? Telnyx?
