Using it from a coding client

A reasonable everyday model in Claude Code. 256K covers most repositories, and images in the prompt work without wiring up a separate vision model.

How it compares within its family

K2.6 sits between K2.5 and K3 in the Moonshot line. It shares the 256K window and the vision tag with K2.5 and lists at $0.95 per million input tokens and $4.00 output, against $0.60 and $3.00 for K2.5. K2.7 Code lists at the same two numbers as K2.6 on the same window, differing only in its coding tag, so the price ladder inside Moonshot has three rungs rather than four. K3 is the outlier: a 1M window at $3.00 and $15.00, roughly three times K2.6 on input and nearly four times on output. Read the family as K2.6 being the default, K2.5 the cheaper fallback, and K3 the one you reach for when the window is the constraint.
