Share of input tokens served from cache. Applied only to models with a cache meter.
Rows with a rate that changes by time of day, promo window or service tier are priced for this scenario instead of their flat listed rate; a brand-colored label under the model name names which one applies. Context size for band-priced rows uses the input-token count below.
Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

How much to trust these numbers
Kimi K3's first Microsoft Foundry lane. Data Zone only — there is no Global meter for K3 under a model-named meter.
Azure Retail Prices API, productName 'Azure Fireworks Models', meters 'FW Kimi K3 Inp DZ Tokens' ($0.0033/1K = $3.30/M), 'FW Kimi K3 Cd Inp DZ Tokens' ($0.00033/1K = $0.33/M) and 'FW Kimi K3 Opt DZ Tokens' ($0.0165/1K = $16.50/M), effective 2026-08-01, captured 2026-08-21. One uniform price group across all 20 commercial Data Zone regions, no US-Gov or rounding outlier. Exactly 1.10x Moonshot's direct rate ($3.00/$0.30/$15.00), the same Data Zone premium every other Fireworks-hosted lane on Foundry carries.
