So the official launch video released about 2 hours ago, here's the link: https://youtu.be/bn0atstgavo?si=6SIAUKYAQBVIQ4N0 Also, the link to the article: https://www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-k3 First off, this has genuinely surprised me, a 3 Trillion parameter model that isn't open source, but it is open weight (Coming July 27th). The bench marks are insane, beating models like Fable and 5.6 Sol. A quick side note, do not trust bench marks blindly, start using personalized bench marks which relate to your field. If you're a web designer, get the models to go through your process and analyze the output of each model, different models have different advantages. The article has some insane use cases, mainly the 3d Open World, I don't know how many prompts or what framework they ran it with but it still looks quite good. Another interesting point, Kimi K3's article points out it's editing and visual effects capability, including motion graphics. Quite some potential there. The API pricing with a few comparisons of what I feel like are the top models are below: (Name: Input/Output per million tokens) Kimi K3: $3.00/$15.00 Fable: $10/$50 GPT 5.6 Sol: $5.00/$30.00 Caveats to each: Kimi K3: - Relatively more expensive for a Chinese model. - It doesn't always stay on task when there's a lot of context. - If you're switching to Kimi K3 mid session with a lot of context, it may get lost. - Quite slow by the only provider up right now, 28 tokens/second (About half the speed of fable and sol) Fable: - Usage limits finish faster than the tokens it generates. GPT: - Multiple cases of important files or entire code bases being deleted, back to 2025 we go!
