Uptime stats for Kimi K2.6 across configured providers
EtherGate normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.
EtherGate supports reasoning-enabled models that can return step-by-step reasoning metadata. Use the reasoning parameter when a provider supports it, and preserve reasoning_details when continuing a conversation. Learn more about reasoning tokens.
