# Kimi on RunAPI Use OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions at `https://runapi.ai/v1` as the primary protocol. ## Primary protocol recipe ### Authenticate Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` to a RunAPI API key and `OPENAI_BASE_URL` to `https://runapi.ai/v1`. ### Send request ```python from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_RUNAPI_TOKEN", base_url="https://runapi.ai/v1") response = client.chat.completions.create( model="kimi-k3", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain this finding."}], ) print(response.choices[0].message.content) print(response.usage) ``` For long output, set `stream=True` and `stream_options={"include_usage": True}`; consume through `[DONE]`. ### Verify result Require final assistant content, `finish_reason`, and authoritative `usage`. Use the returned final answer rather than raw reasoning content. ### Stop boundaries Correct a rejected shape once using the structured error. Retry transport once only before any response or Usage and when replay is safe. Record a terminal error and stop without changing model or protocol. For `kimi-k3` and `kimi-k2.7-code`, start with text history and final answers; add tools, multimodal input, reasoning controls, cache controls, or continuation only when the current RunAPI contract explicitly verifies the exact shape. ## Compatibility protocols Load [compatibility protocols](references/compatibility-protocols.md) only when an existing client requires Anthropic Messages or Gemini contents. ## Supp
