Now K3 is the KING?
Kimi K3 has reshaped the AI race by bringing Chinese open models closer to the best American closed models.
Key points:
- Kimi K3 is said to have achieved approximately 98% of Fable 5’s capabilities, but at a price similar to Sonnet 5.
- In some programming benchmarks, it reportedly outperformed GPT‑5.6 and even Fable 5.
- In practical comparisons, it delivered similar or superior quality in web pages, 3D experiences, WebGL, maps, galaxies, and minigames.
- Its main disadvantage appears to be speed: in one test, it took 240 seconds, compared with 80 seconds for Fable 5.
- On the other hand, it could cost between one-third and one-fifth as much.
- This is reportedly already leading companies—including major corporations—to consider migrating from OpenAI and Anthropic to Kimi.
- If its model weights are fully released, companies will be able to run it on their own infrastructure, reducing their dependence on closed providers.
The video’s most important reflection is not simply about which model won. It is about the rapidly falling cost of intelligence. According to the creator, the cost of obtaining the same level of capability is decreasing by a factor of 30 to 40 each year.
With advanced intelligence becoming cheap and widely available, we could deploy dozens or even hundreds of agents to perform intellectual tasks. This would transform:
- The value of human labor.
- The service economy.
- Software production.
- Consulting and research.
- Scientific development.
- The structure of many jobs.
Even if AI models stopped improving today, society would still take decades to fully explore everything they can already do. Therefore, the new bottleneck would no longer be model intelligence, but its distribution and integration into society.
In one sentence: Kimi K3 is not just another model; it suggests that intelligence approaching the best closed systems could become open, affordable, and available to almost everyone—disrupting the AI market and the value of intellectual labor.
