Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence

The blog post is now online:

- The blog post is explicitly saying that the model is open; that language was removed from the previously shared link

- It shows benchmarks

I've been playing around with it for the past few hours, and I think it's an amazing model. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between this and Fable in a blind test. The quota in the $100 Kimi Coding plan seems to roughly align with what I get from the $200 Anthropic plan when I primarily use Fable.

They're saying kimi3 beat Fable in the AttnRes Kernel Optimization benchmark. What does this benchmark actually mean?

Another deepseek moment? it seems they have fully caught with fable tier of models, and this was a lot sooner than was expected.
