According to the post, Kimi K3 can reduce frontier model inference costs by roughly 3x and will be natively available on Together Compute starting July 27.
Cited evaluation conclusions state that on software engineering tasks, Kimi K3 performs comparably to Claude Fable 5, but at roughly 35% of the cost, while even showing a slight edge at higher pass@k metrics.
