Mamta writes the model, pricing and comparison coverage on this site. She tracks Moonshot AI’s platform documentation for changes across the Kimi family — context windows, token prices, capability flags and shutdown dates — and records the date each figure was last checked. Where Moonshot has not published a number, she writes that it is unpublished rather than estimating it.
