Kimi K3 Priced Higher Than Sonnet 5
kimmonismus · x · 2026-07-16
The author corrected a previous misunderstanding: Kimi k3 is actually more expensive than Sonnet 5.
The quoted "official information" also mentions that, according to benchmarks, k3 is allegedly slightly below GPT-5.6 and Fable 5, but higher than Opus 4.8. The author considers the pricing "outrageous" and retracts their earlier claim that it was on par with Sonnet 5.
