Frontier-class open models through the API you already use — each at half its own vendor's price, about 90% below flagship APIs like GPT-5 and Claude Opus. Change two lines, keep every other line of your code.

A typical coding-agent month: 50M input + 10M output tokens. Flagship list prices at time of writing.
| Provider (model) | Price /1M in · out | Monthly bill |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI (GPT-5.5) | $5.00 · $30.00 | $550.00 |
| Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.8) | $5.00 · $25.00 | $500.00 |
| Moonshot (Kimi K2.6, vendor) | $0.95 · $4.00 | $87.50 |
| Khidi — Kimi K2.6 | $0.50 · $2.00 | $45.00 |
| Khidi — MiniMax M2.7 | $0.15 · $0.60 | $13.50 |
Same request, same OpenAI-compatible interface — a fraction of the invoice. Prices update prospectively; check each model page for current rates.
Pick the model per request by changing one string — kimi-k2.6 or minimax-m2.7. Streaming, tool calling and long context are included on every model.
Khidi also speaks the Anthropic Messages format, so Claude Code and the Anthropic SDK work — point them at Khidi and run open models at a fraction of Claude's price:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.khidi.ai" export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-…" claude --model kimi-k2.6
Khidi serves open-weight models — MIT and comparably licensed — on specialized third-party GPU infrastructure, and sets its own USD prices independently of the flagship vendors. Open models have quietly caught up: on real, contamination-resistant benchmarks like SWE-Bench Pro and Humanity's Last Exam (with tools), Kimi K2.6 trades blows with GPT-5 and Claude Opus. You're not buying a worse model — you're skipping the flagship margin.
Yes — set base_url to https://api.khidi.ai/v1 and use your Khidi key. Chat completions, streaming and function calling work unchanged, in the OpenAI SDK or any tool that speaks it (Cursor, LangChain, LibreChat, n8n).
