 | Timeline of the last five days: July 16: Moonshot drops Kimi K3. 2.8 trillion parameters, open weights coming July 27, claiming it's within spitting distance of Fable 5 and beats Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 outright on coding and agent benchmarks. $15 per million output tokens. Fable is $50. MLQ + 2 July 17: Nasdaq dips as Wall Street digests it. Moonshot pauses new K3 signups because demand outran their compute. BloombergFortune July 19: The Fable 5 preview on Max plans was scheduled to end. The standard playbook says this is the moment it moves behind a new, more expensive tier. July 20: Popup says it's now a standard part of the plan. Half your weekly limit, usage credits after. Was this decided weeks ago? Almost certainly. Does the timing look like someone at Anthropic glanced at the K3 benchmarks and quietly deleted the paywall slide? Also yes. Competition works. Say thank you, Kimi. [link] [comments] |
