They just opened the weights. I expect competition from various providers will drop the price a bit. But you're right. I'd hope a model closer to GLM 5.2's price would be sufficiently useful.

A license and presumably revshare is required for large scale inference as a service of Kimi K3. There's clearly something going on right now with every router at the same or higher price as the Moonshot list price.

So I wouldn't count on competition if $/mil token is actually set by Moonshot, but I would expect $/tok to drop when there's a more competitive frontier open weight model.
