LiveKit Inference adds GPT-5.6, Grok 4.3/4.5 and Kimi K2.6 model SKUs

LiveKit pricing

LiveKit Inference added six new per-minute LLM SKUs: OpenAI GPT-5.6 Luna, Sol and Terra, xAI Grok 4.3 and 4.5, and Moonshot Kimi K2.6. Cloud plan prices unchanged.

Before

LiveKit Inference LLM catalog ran through OpenAI GPT-5.5 and xAI Grok 4.20; the pricing-page calculator defaulted to an OpenAI GPT-5.3 Chat stack totalling $0.0735/min.

After

Catalog adds GPT-5.6 Luna $0.0040/min, GPT-5.6 Terra $0.0101/min, GPT-5.6 Sol $0.0203/min, Grok 4.3 $0.0042/min, Grok 4.5 $0.0070/min and Kimi K2.6 $0.0035/min; the calculator now defaults to a Gemma 4 31B stack at $0.0672/min. Build $0 / Ship $50 / Scale $500 / Enterprise custom are unchanged.

LiveKit expanded the model catalog behind LiveKit Inference, the single-API-key LLM/STT/TTS service whose usage draws down each plan credit allotment ($2.50 on Build, $5 on Ship, $50 on Scale) and then bills per minute of model time. Six LLM SKUs are new on livekit.io/pricing since the 2026-06-30 capture: OpenAI GPT-5.6 Luna at $0.0040/min, GPT-5.6 Terra at $0.0101/min and GPT-5.6 Sol at $0.0203/min, xAI Grok 4.3 at $0.0042/min and Grok 4.5 at $0.0070/min, and Moonshot AI Kimi K2.6 at $0.0035/min.

No LiveKit Cloud plan price, allotment or overage rate moved: Build is still free, Ship starts at $50/mo, Scale at $500/mo, Enterprise is custom, and agent-session minutes still cost $0.01 per minute over the allotment. The visible effect is on the pricing-page calculator, whose default LLM switched from OpenAI GPT-5.3 Chat to the much cheaper Gemma 4 31B, dropping the headline blended estimate for a voice agent from $0.0735/min to $0.0672/min.
