Notes from the sources
Command R+ 08-2024
Legacy list price
The pricing page publishes this rate under legacy models for existing customers: $2.50 input and $10 output per 1M tokens. No cached-input rate is listed. The model catalog still marks the model Live, with text modality, 128k context, and 4k maximum output. A release day was not on those pages. The 08-2024 in the model id is not recorded as a full date.

Cache miss / cache hit / output
The platform home lists these rates: cache-miss input, cache-hit input, and output. Cache writes are billed separately at $2 per 1M tokens for a 5-minute TTL and $4 per 1M tokens for a 1-hour TTL. A Highspeed variant, kimi-k3.1-pro-highspeed, is $4 input, $0.20 cached input, and $20 output per 1M tokens. The quickstart sets max_completion_tokens to 131,072 by default and allows it up to 1,048,576, which is the max output recorded here. The docs pricing table renders client-side, so the stored rates are the ones on the platform home. Open weights are promised by 4 November 2026.
