# Kimi vs GPT and Claude: price, context window, and where you can sign up

> Compare Kimi models on ChinaAPI with OpenAI and Anthropic models on three checkable facts: published USD price per million tokens, context window, and account availability. No quality ranking.

- Canonical: https://chinaapi.ai/compare/kimi-vs-gpt-claude/
- Updated: 2026-08-10
- Kimi models on ChinaAPI: 4
- Base URL: `https://api.chinaapi.ai/v1`
- Account requirement: no mainland-China account or phone number

## Scope

Price, context window and availability only. This page carries no quality,
score or ranking claim, because no published bench evidence supports one yet.

## Availability

- OpenAI: Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau are not on OpenAI's published list of supported countries and territories, and that page warns that using the service outside the listed territories can get an account blocked or suspended. (source: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/supported-countries, retrieved 2026-08-10)
- Anthropic: Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau do not appear on Anthropic's published list of supported countries and regions, for either commercial API access or Claude.ai. (source: https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries, retrieved 2026-08-10)
- ChinaAPI: Sign-up needs no mainland-China company entity and no mainland-China phone number. A new dashboard account starts with $2 of trial credit.

| [kimi-k3](https://chinaapi.ai/models/kimi-k3/) | ChinaAPI | 1M | $2.7397/M input, $13.6986/M output tokens |
| gpt-5.6-sol | OpenAI | 1.05M | $5/M input, $30/M output tokens |
| gpt-5.6-terra | OpenAI | 1.05M | $2/M input, $12/M output tokens |
| gpt-5.6-luna | OpenAI | 1.05M | $0.2/M input, $1.2/M output tokens |
| Claude Fable 5 | Anthropic | 1M | $10/M input, $50/M output tokens |
| Claude Opus 5 | Anthropic | 1M | $5/M input, $25/M output tokens |
| Claude Sonnet 5 | Anthropic | 1M | $2/M input, $10/M output tokens |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | Anthropic | 200K | $1/M input, $5/M output tokens |

Token prices are shown as input and output per one million tokens.

Token-model rates are synchronized from the gateway and may follow providers' official China list prices where configured. Live pricing is authoritative.

## Price notes

- `kimi-k3`: Automatic cache hits are billed at $0.3200 per 1M input tokens; the standard input price above is the cache-miss rate.
- `Claude Sonnet 5`: This is an introductory rate that Anthropic's pricing page says runs through August 31, 2026. From September 1, 2026 the same page lists $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens.

## Why there is no quality column here.

Every row on this page is a number you can check against a published source: a price, a context window, or a statement about who may open an account. There is no row for reasoning, coding or instruction-following, because we have not measured them. Our bench harness is not published yet, and until it is, a ranking from us would be a preference presented as a measurement.

That is a real limitation, not a hedge, so here is the position it leaves us with: use this page to rule options out on cost, context and account eligibility, and use your own evaluation set to choose among whatever survives. If a comparison page tells you which model is smarter and shows you no task, no sample count and no failure definition, it is selling something.

## What we could not verify, and therefore did not write.

A missing row is a deliberate choice. Each gap below is something a comparison page is expected to state and that we could not source from a page we can re-check, so we left it out rather than fill it in from memory.

- OpenAI: Context windows for OpenAI model generations before gpt-5.6. Those models appear on the pricing page but their context sizes were not stated on the model reference page we read, so they are left out of the table rather than filled in from memory.
