The author tested **Kimi K3 Standard** on the initial draft of their indie space game, noting its first output was noticeably better than **GPT-5.5**'s first draft, calling it an open-source model at the "GPT-5.5 to GPT-5.6 level." They also shared a cost breakdown: this run cost an estimated **$2.50** in tokens, compared to **$22** for **Fable 5** and **$14** for **GPT-5.5**. However, they added that Fable 5 produced more "visually stunning" graphics, though the overall gap wasn't that wide.
