I am trying to run Kimi k2, and noticed that it seems to be dependent on OpenRouter ?

I get that open router is useful, but hope that Crush can be easily made to just talk to AI Models without going through third parties.

Moonshot has an OpenAI-compatible API, so you can configure Crush to treat Kimi as an OpenAI model with a custom URL.

For example, here is my crush.json configuration to use Kimi K2 via Novita.ai:

    "novita": {
      "type": "openai",
      "base_url": "https://api.novita.ai/v3/openai",
      "api_key": "<ADD API KEY HERE>",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct",
          "name": "Kimi K2 (Novita)",
          "cost_per_1m_in": 0.57,
          "cost_per_1m_out": 2.3,
          "context_window": 131072,
          "default_max_tokens": 5000
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Adjust base_url to https://api.moonshot.ai/v1 (or whatever provider you want to use) andid to the ID the provider uses for Kimi, and add the API key.
