Kimi k3 is an incredible model. It is not an incredible value. In most tasks, it comes out to roughly the same cost as GPT-5.6 Sol. K3 is half the price of 5.6 Sol per token. GPT-5.6 uses half as many tokens. Price evens out. GPT-5.6 is 2x faster TPS, so it gets work done ~4x faster than K3 at roughly the same price. I still love K3 and will be using it for a TON of stuff. I'm just tired of people pretending it's way cheaper when it's not.
@ClementDelangue My honest estimate is that it will help by like 20% at most. Hope I鈥檓 wrong though.
Just wait for open weights and inference optimization!

@ClementDelangue Without significant quantization? I鈥檓 down to bet. Free ad spot if I鈥檓 wrong, $10k of compute credit on HF if I鈥檓 right? Either way I feel like a winner because I get a great model for cheap
@theo What do you want to bet? I鈥檒l take the over 20% compared to current API price in less than 3 months
