The predicted US cost advantage in serving Kimi K3
A post quotes Stability AI co-founder Emad Mostaque predicting that US providers will be able to serve Kimi K3 at one-tenth the cost of Chinese competitors because of access to advanced Nvidia and AMD chips.
TLDR
Modal, Fireworks and Baseten will be able to serve Kimi K3 at one-tenth the cost of Chinese competitors, Stability AI co-founder Emad Mostaque predicts in remarks quoted by a post citing Peter H. Diamandis’s YouTube channel. He credits their access to advanced Nvidia and AMD chips. Mostaque also says much of the model’s research and development has shifted to China, but optimization for next-generation hardware such as Nvidia’s Rubin architecture could lower its operating cost by 10 to 100 times.
