Kimi-K3 isn’t quite better than Fable yet, but it’s definitely getting closer.

Kimi-K3’s release, while impressive, is still months behind the closed-source frontier, so all the “it’s over for Anthropic” talk feels overblown. According to Artificial Analysis, though, Kimi-K3 has brought the open-source frontier to just 1.5 months behind closed-source, putting it right on the heels of OpenAI and Anthropic.

Also worth noting from the graph: where has Google been since Gemini 3 Pro last November? The top open-source models keep getting bigger, proving scaling laws still hold. And with Kimi-K3 nearing 3T parameters, it’s definitely not running on your MacBook.

Does anyone know when Kimi K3 will be available on AI Desktop 98?
