Kimi K3 beats GPT-6 on game menu replication quality but takes 5x longer, $3.75 vs $2.30

Given the exact same prompt to recreate the start menu of the game ECHO, Kimi K3 Swarm produced visuals above both GPT-6 Extra High and the actual game, and even added interactive eye tracking that GPT-6 missed. But it took 3.5 hours vs GPT-6's 42 minutes (about 5x), and an estimated 250K output tokens ($3.75 API-equivalent) vs GPT-6's 46K ($2.30). Takeaway: Kimi K3 now leads on quality for long-output front-end replication tasks, but lags significantly on speed and token efficiency.
