The chart shows max effort, used mostly by price-insensitive enterprise users. At medium effort it drops to almost half K3’s cost, and is probably sufficient for 95% of coding tasks.
- stingraycharles 3mo agoYeah if there’s one thing that people should really understand it’s that it’s cheaper to have smarter models with less thinking than cheaper models with more thinking.
- andriy_koval 3mo agoOpus medium = Sol high = 56, but still 25% more expensive
- Bolwin 3mo agoFor a fair comparison, you should compare to K3 (which AA has not tested yet unfortunately) and GPT 5.6 Sol also on medium or the closest equivalent
- krzyk 3mo agoEnterprise users are price sensitive, because they are charged per token (and have limit per user set by companies, and those limits are different from $50 per month to 1500$ per month). Subscription users might be insensitive to that.
- KronisLV 3mo ago> At medium effort it drops to almost half K3’s cost, and is probably sufficient for 95% of coding tasks. I've also found that Kimi K3 on Max reasoning is benchmaxxing a little bit, High is probably enough for most dev work as long as you have good tooling and a good, detailed plan (which you can create on Max reasoning if you want).
