Questions people ask
Is gpt-4.1 better than kimi-k2?
gpt-4.1 outperforms kimi-k2 on 4 of 6 shared benchmarks. See the benchmark comparison above for specifics — gpt-4.1 and kimi-k2 have different strengths across reasoning, coding, math and multimodal tasks.
Which is cheaper — gpt-4.1 or kimi-k2?
kimi-k2 is cheaper. gpt-4.1 costs $2.00/$8.00 per 1M input/output tokens, while kimi-k2 costs $0.60/$2.50.
Can I use gpt-4.1 and kimi-k2 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch — "openai/gpt-4.1" or "vertex/kimi-k2" — no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
gpt-4.1 supports up to 1.0M tokens of context. kimi-k2 supports up to 262K tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
Switch between gpt-4.1 and kimi-k2 with one line of code
Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API for 400+ models. Change the model parameter, not your code.
