Kimi K3 reportedly has top-tier KV cache economics among frontier models

The post says Kimi K3 has the best KV cache economics among major models, with the only exception being DeepSeek V4, and that it is a major improvement over K2. A screenshot of a KV-cache calculator shows large cache sizes and per-token memory figures for the model.
This is a narrow but meaningful signal about inference efficiency: the author is not talking about benchmark hype, but about how much cache memory the model consumes and how its economics compare to other frontier models.
