Hi Ruijia Sun,

From what’s currently documented and how Azure Sponsorship works, Kimi‑K2.5 usage via Azure AI Foundry is covered by Azure Sponsorship credits, since it’s exposed and billed as an Azure‑native model through Foundry rather than a separately metered third‑party service.

That said, sponsorship coverage ultimately follows Azure billing meters, not the model's name itself. As long as your Foundry usage shows up under supported Azure AI consumption in the Cost Management / Usage blade of the sponsorship subscription, the credits will apply normally.

If you want to be 100% certain for your specific tenant:

Run a small test call against Kimi‑K2.5.
Check Cost Management → Cost analysis on the sponsorship subscription.
Confirm the charge is deducted from sponsorship credits rather than blocked or billed separately.

I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.
