Live rates from the EmpirioLabs catalog for both models. Each rate card always matches what the API charges.
Request parameters each model lists on EmpirioLabs, with the allowed values or range where one applies. A dash marks a parameter the model does not list.

Supports text, image, and video inputs with 256K context, function calling, JSON mode structured output, and built-in web search at $0.015 per invoked call. Thinking is always on and cannot be disabled; reasoning tokens are billed as output tokens. Temperature and other sampling overrides are ignored because the model service uses fixed sampling settings. Multi-step function calling through the API must replay the assistant message with its reasoning_content field intact.
Kimi K2.7 Code serves the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 with your EmpirioLabs API key and use the model id kimi-k2-7-code. Both models are called through the same endpoint. Set model to kimi-k2-7-code or deepseek-v4-pro. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

Kimi K2.7 Code lists the lower rate for Input (per 1M prompt tokens). DeepSeek V4 Pro lists the lower rate for Output (per 1M generated tokens). Both live rate cards are on this page and always match what the API charges.
Yes. Both models use POST /v1/chat/completions with the same EmpirioLabs API key, so most integrations switch by changing the model value. Check the parameters table on this page first if you rely on a model-specific parameter.
Yes. Open each model in the EmpirioLabs playground and run the same prompt on both, with the parameters the API exposes.
