Kimi K3 hits 460 tokens/s on Modal as 5.6 Sol faces launch-week pressure

The post says Kimi K3 is running at 460 tokens/s on Modal and calls it “a force of nature.” It also argues that the upcoming 5.6 Sol launch on Cerebras, at around 750 tokens/s, will face real competition immediately.
The broader point is that Kimi K3’s release-week speed is already strong enough to pressure another fast inference launch, especially at a more affordable price point. The thread frames throughput as a competitive differentiator, not just a benchmark number.
