Kimi K3 timeline makes Fable distillation claim look implausible
pstAsiatech · x · 2026-07-23
【Quoted reply】The poster rejects the accusation that Kimi K3 was distilled from Anthropic’s Fable, arguing the timeline makes it implausible: frontier training runs take months, Fable was only available for a few days in June, and Kimi K3 launched on July 17.
They also point to documented architecture innovations in K3 as evidence that the model was not just a copied run, contrasting that with Anthropic’s own lack of detailed documentation in the cited comparison.
