Missing Pricing Info for Kimi and Deepseek

Describe the Bug

I cannot find any pricing details for kimi-k2-instruct, deepseek-r1, and deepseek-v3.1 in the documentation or within the Cursor editor. The docs only point to external pricing for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and xAI models, leaving Kimi and DeepSeek unclear. It is not specified whether they are free or how usage counts toward the monthly limit.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Cursor documentation on API pricing.
Review listed models and pricing links.
Open the Cursor editor and check the pricing display.
Note absence of Kimi and DeepSeek models.

Expected Behavior

Pricing (or usage policy) for Kimi and DeepSeek models should be clearly listed in documentation and visible in the Cursor editor’s pricing view, so users understand whether they are free or how they’re counted toward monthly usage (0.5x/1x/2x etc)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Is there a model you did find?
I looked some time ago, and they removed the page with the cost of all the models.
I understand you’ve found the details for the other models I’d be glad to know where.

Nah, on their models page, they just provided hyperlinks to the model pages for OpenAI, XAI, Anthropic, and Google. They tell you to look up prices for the models on their sites.

The problem for Kimi or Deepseek is that they’re probably not using the models hosted by their Chinese parent companies, so I don’t really know which provider they use and the API price.

Basically, if you had the energy, you could look at the usage page — it shows how much you paid for how many tokens. Give that to any AI model, and it will calculate for you how much each one costs.
P.S.
It’s true they explicitly state that they host the model in their own way.

For kimi, you can look the token pricing in the open router: OpenRouter
Cursor uses fireworks as provider as per Cursor team so look under Fireworks pricing:

Deepseek is using Fireworks provider as well, so you can look deepseek under that provider for exact /Mtok price:

If you are in old pricing, Deepseek r1 consumes 1 request while 3.1 is free. But I can’t see any request-based pricing for kimi (well anyway, this is changing by next month so here for your reference):
