Bindu Reddy comments on the latest LiveBench results (screenshot included):
- Claude Fable 5.1 leads with 88.0 overall, followed by Claude Opus 5.5 (86.5) and GPT-6 Astra (86.1); Gemini 4 Argon scores 84.1.
- Kimi K3.1 Pro lands at 76.7, below DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (79.2), trailing notably in Agentic (49.5 vs 50.9) and Coding (81.8 vs 96.0), though DeepSeek's $0.202 cost per task undercuts Kimi's $0.935.
- His take: Kimi K3.1 appears bench-maxxed on public benchmarks with competitive per-task pricing, but isn't Fable/Astra class — DeepSeek remains king of open-source.
