Kimi did better than on the Lighthouse. 👀
But it's still far from Opus 5.5.
And that's Kimi on max vs. Opus on xhigh. 🤯
Kimi K3.1 Pro: $24.12 · 1h 12m
Opus 5.5: $31.85 · 2h 45m
So be honest: can Kimi K3.1 really compete with Opus 5.5? 👇
Kimi K3.1 Pro vs. Opus 5.5 vs. GPT-6 Astra
Everyone says Kimi K3.1 Pro matches Opus 5.5 at a fraction of the price.
My Lighthouse test on max: $23.42
I had to use max. On high it was 10x cheaper, but the results were closer to Muse Spark 1.3. 💀
Opus: $53. GPT-6 Astra: $42. Kimi lost to both. 🤯
What am I missing? 👀
Testing it on the Eiffel Tower and the Space Train next. Results soon.
