MindsDB adds Kimi K3.1 Pro and relists DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at its post-hike price
MindsDB added two models to its token-priced rate card: Kimi K3.1 Pro (Moonshot AI, $2.00 input / $10.00 output per 1M tokens) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Fireworks AI, $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens), listed as a separate row alongside the existing DeepSeek V4.1 Flash entry at the same price.

WHY IT MATTERS
For buyers comparing inference costs on MindsHub, the lineup keeps widening: the roster Kimi K3.1 Pro (Moonshot AI) just joined already spans Gemini, Claude, GPT and DeepSeek models at their own per-token rates. Watch whether MindsDB matches this pace of additions with cuts elsewhere, as it did when it slashed rates across 17 models in July, or whether the catalog just keeps growing without any repricing to offset it.
BY THE NUMBERS
- 17 pricing changes in the last 90 days, 26 in the last 365
- Average gap between MindsDB's pricing changes: about 9 days
- Previous change: Gemini 4 Argon pricing added 11 days earlier
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017's $0.30/$1.20 rate matches the Oct 2, 2026 hike (output +82%)
THEIR RATIONALE
MindsDB doesn't comment on individual rate-card additions. The company has been expanding its MindsHub model lineup on a near-weekly cadence — 17 pricing changes in the last 90 days and 26 in the last 365, against an average gap of about 9 days between changes — and the previous change, Gemini 4 Argon pricing, landed 11 days before this one. Adding two more models fits that pattern rather than signaling a new strategy.
THE SIGNAL
The DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 line isn't a new price: $0.30 input/$1.20 output matches the rate MindsDB set when it hiked DeepSeek V4.1 Flash output 82% to $1.20 on Oct 2, 2026, and it now sits as a duplicate row next to the original DeepSeek V4.1 Flash entry at the identical rate. What's actually new is Kimi K3.1 Pro (Moonshot AI). MindsDB keeps adding rows faster than almost any pattern in the index: 17 changes in 90 days against its own roughly 9-day average gap.
IN CONTEXT
MindsDB has made 17 pricing changes in the last 90 days (26 in the last 365), against an average gap of about 9 days between changes — one of the fastest cadences in the index. This addition lands 11 days after MindsDB added Gemini 4 Argon pricing at $2 input, $10 output per million, which itself followed Meta's Muse Wonder 1.0 joining the rate card. The DeepSeek V4.1 Flash line isn't a new price: $0.30 input/$1.20 output matches the 82% output hike MindsDB set on Oct 2, 2026 — what's actually new is Kimi K3.1 Pro, alongside what looks like a refreshed listing for DeepSeek rather than a fresh repricing.
