Best Model

Kimi K2.6 (kimi-k2.6) — Built for agentic workflows with strong function calling and 262K context. About $2.60 per 1,000 simple requests (1K tokens in, 500 out). It is outside the free tier, so it needs a top-up first. For budget agents, or to run on the signup credit, use DeepSeek V4 Flash (deepseek-v4-flash) at about 0.28per1,000requestsofthesamesize,or∗∗Qwen3Coder∗∗(‘qwen−3−coder‘)atabout0.28 per 1,000 requests of the same size, or **Qwen 3 Coder** (`qwen-3-coder`) at about 1.09.

Python — Agent with Tool Loop

JavaScript — Express Agent API

Tips

  • Use kimi-k2.6 for complex multi-step agents, deepseek-v4-flash for simpler ones
  • Keep tool descriptions clear and concise — the model uses them to decide when to call
  • Set max_steps to prevent infinite loops
  • Store conversation history for multi-turn agent sessions
