Questions people ask
Is grok-4 better than kimi-k2?
grok-4 outperforms kimi-k2 on 7 of 11 shared benchmarks. See the benchmark comparison above for specifics — grok-4 and kimi-k2 have different strengths across reasoning, coding, math and multimodal tasks.
Which is cheaper — grok-4 or kimi-k2?
kimi-k2 is cheaper. grok-4 costs $3.00/$15.00 per 1M input/output tokens, while kimi-k2 costs $0.60/$2.50.
Can I use grok-4 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 — "xai/grok-4" or "vertex/kimi-k2" — no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
grok-4 supports up to 256K 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.
