Quirks

Model ids on the coding endpoints: kimi-for-coding, kimi-for-coding-highspeed, k3 (1M ctx, ~2x quota), k3-256k. The [1m] suffix (kimi-k3[1m]) is a Claude Code env convention only — raw API uses k3/kimi-k3. Claude Code /effort maps to k3 low/high/max. (docs)
kimi-for-coding is the K2.7-code-class model; highspeed variant doubles speed and quota consumption. (docs)
