K3 is cheaper from other providers. $1/$9, though I can't speak to how good those providers are.

K3 TOS says they must sell no lower than what Moonshot charges. If you have a provider selling for less than $15/mtok, they are violating TOS from Moonshot.

		looks like the underlying vendor is charging correct prices https://inference.net/models/kimi-k3/ however the listing on open router has a `/fp4` suffix, so perhaps this is an unlisted, quanted model for a lower price?

as the saying goes, you get what you pay for

we require ZDR and Fireworks provides that on contract, so for us they are the same price

Check out Neuralwatt. They are ZDR and great energy based K3 pricing. They also have a K3-fast which is basically no reasoning (in addition to regular K3).

		that is nothing like how we consume Ai industry standard is price-per-1M tokens, don't do something different, even Google caved and moved from their char based pricing to tokens (the fundamental unit of computation in ai) GPUs are rented in $/h, like every other piece of hardware in cloud
