Figures checked 1 Nov 2026. A dash means not published on the sources we checked, so it stays blank rather than estimated. AA index and speed are from Artificial Analysis at the default setting.
Moonshot names these settings reasoning_effort. Price per token is the same at every level. Higher levels usually use more output tokens. platform.kimi.ai (opens in a new tab)
| Level | When to use it, per Moonshot | AA index | Tokens/s |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | No per-level advice published | – | – |
| high | No per-level advice published | – | – |
| max default | No per-level advice published | – | – |
Our rule of thumb: Simple or speed-critical work: low. Standard work: the lab's default. Complex work: high. Use xhigh or max only when your own tests show a gain, as OpenAI and Anthropic both advise. developers.openai.com (opens in a new tab)platform.claude.com (opens in a new tab)
