In a clip shared by rohanpaulai, Emad Mostaque argues that Kimi K3’s current inference cost is unusually high because the supporting infrastructure is still immature.
He says the cost could fall by 10x to 50x over the next few months as the stack gets optimized, implying the current price gap is a temporary infrastructure problem rather than a hard technical limit.
