      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you integrate LLMs, video, or image models through CometAPI, here's a heads-up on two pricing changes this week — your code is fine on both:&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;1️⃣ Kimi K3 — 20% off, effective immediately&lt;br&gt;
Kimi K3 resources have stabilized on our platform. We're passing that on: K3 is now 80% of the official list price. Effective immediately — no action required.&lt;br&gt;
👉 K3 pricing → &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/3TXkHRK" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bit.ly/3TXkHRK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Example call &lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;unchanged&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
curl https://api.cometapi.com/v1/chat/completions &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Authorization: Bearer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$COMETAPI_API_KEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"model": "kimi-k3", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "..."}]}'&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;






&lt;p&gt;2️⃣ KLING — alignment with official list, 2026-07-29 01:00 UTC (09:00 CST)&lt;br&gt;
KLING model pricing will be aligned with the official list price across all hosted scenarios.&lt;br&gt;
👉 KLING pricing → &lt;a href="https://bit.ly/4x7EhJu" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bit.ly/4x7EhJu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
What you do NOT need to change&lt;br&gt;
✅ Endpoint URL ✅ Request body schema ✅ Model ID ✅ Task polling logic&lt;br&gt;
If you're integrated today, you'll keep working today, tomorrow and the next day without redeploying.&lt;br&gt;
Scenarios touched&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Image generation &amp;amp; editing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Omni image generation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Video generation &amp;amp; video effects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Audio generation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TTS (text-to-speech)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lip-sync&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avatar video&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Virtual try-on&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Image expansion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recognition
For most workloads (text-to-image, image-edit, TTS, recognition) the difference is minimal. Compute-heavy jobs (video generation, avatar video, virtual try-on) will see more material price adjustments — review the live page before scaling.
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Example call &lt;span class="o"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;unchanged&lt;span class="o"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
curl https://api.cometapi.com/v1/kling/video/generations &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-H&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Authorization: Bearer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nv"&gt;$COMETAPI_API_KEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s2"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"model": "kling-video-v2", "prompt": "..."}'&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="nt"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Bottom line: your code keeps working, your bill may shift slightly. Both updates are aligned with official pricing, so what you see on CometAPI now matches what you'd see going direct — minus the convenience of one key, one bill, one dashboard across 500+ models.&lt;br&gt;
