Kimi API: an independent guide and a drop-in alternative

Why Choose an Uncensored Kimi API Alternative

When developers search for a kimi api or similar large language model endpoints, they often encounter aggregators that route traffic through multiple providers. This adds latency and complexity. We provide a single, dedicated uncensored model via a standard OpenAI-compatible endpoint. This ensures predictable performance and exact prompt fidelity.

Our service is designed for users who want reliable text generation without content refusals. The model is open-weight and tuned to answer a wide range of topics, including adult or controversial subjects, for lawful use. It is not GPT, Claude, or any other vendor's model. It is a distinct, independent LLM running on our servers.

We avoid the proxy overhead of aggregators. You get direct access to the model's capabilities. This is particularly useful for applications where consistency matters more than accessing a vast library of different models.

OpenAI-Compatible: Drop-in Code

Our API follows the OpenAI Chat Completions standard. You can use the same client libraries you already know. This reduces integration time significantly. You only need to update two configuration values: the base URL and the API key.

The endpoint is POST /v1/chat/completions. It accepts the same parameters as the OpenAI API, including temperature, top_p, and stop sequences. We also support function calling and JSON mode for structured outputs.

Copyfrom openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.kimiapi.cc/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this thread without softening it."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

This approach means you can switch your existing OpenAI clients to our uncensored model with minimal code changes. The response format is identical, making debugging and testing straightforward.

Model: Uncensored Open-Weight LLM

The model ID is uncensored. It is an open-weight large language model hosted on our infrastructure. It is tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult use. It does not block standard creative or controversial topics.

However, there is a hard content limit: requests involving sexual content with minors are always refused. This is the only strict block enforced by the model.

The context window is 64,000 tokens for the combined prompt and completion. You can specify a maximum output of 16,000 tokens per request. If you do not set max_tokens, the limit defaults to 2,048 tokens.

This is not a routing service. We do not switch between different vendor models. You get consistent behavior from this single, dedicated model.

Pricing: Pay Per Token, No Subscriptions

We charge $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $1.00 per 1M output tokens. Credit is prepaid and charged by real token usage. Errors and refusals are free, so you only pay for successful completions.

There are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees. Your paid credit never expires. You can top up with cryptocurrency only: USDT (TRC20) or USDC (Base). Minimum top-up is $10, maximum is $500.

We offer a bonus on top-ups: +5% credit for amounts of $50 or more, and +10% for $100 or more. We do not accept cards, PayPal, or bank transfers. Every new account gets $0.50 of trial credit valid for 7 days, no card needed.

Features: Streaming, Tools, JSON Mode

Our API supports streaming responses via Server-Sent Events (SSE). Token usage information is included in the last chunk of the stream. This allows you to display responses in real-time to your users.

Function calling is fully supported. You can define tools and let the model decide when to use them. This is essential for building agents that can interact with external systems.

JSON mode is available via the response_format parameter. Set it to json_object to force the model to output valid JSON. This is useful for data extraction or structured content generation.

We support standard parameters like temperature, top_p, stop, seed, presence_penalty, and frequency_penalty for fine-tuning the output.

Get Your API Key Now

Sign up using Continue with Google or create an account with email and password. Your API key is shown immediately. No phone number is required.

Each account is limited to one active key. If you generate a new key, the old one is replaced. You can make up to 300 requests per minute per key, with a concurrency limit of 8 simultaneous requests. The request body size limit is 8 MB.

If you encounter issues, such as a double charge, use the Support page. Credit is not refunded as it never expires, but we will fix accounting errors.

Copycurl https://api.kimiapi.cc/v1/chat/completions \

This is an API for developers. We do not offer a chat website or app. We do not provide SLAs, SOC2, or HIPAA certifications. We do not offer on-prem deployment. If you need those, this is not the right choice for you.
