Moonshot AI has launched Kimi K3, a new coding tool that competes with Claude Fable 5 and GPT, priced significantly lower. At $3 per million input tokens, Kimi K3 costs one-third of Fable 5, which charges $10 per million. However, Kimi K3 is reported to be four times slower in execution. I tested both models on three coding tasks: a bug fix, a multi-file refactor, and a feature build. Kimi K3 matched Fable 5's output but took considerably longer to complete the tasks. #AI #CodingTools...
