What you're seeing is from Kimi K3, a

0:02

model from Moonshot AI that's open

0:04

source and open weight, which means you

0:05

could download it onto your own PC. That

0:07

is if you can handle 2.8 trillion

0:09

parameters. It has a 1 million token

0:12

context window, which is massive, and I

0:14

want to explore exactly what makes it

0:15

special. Let's find out. When I jumped

0:17

on Twitter, I saw their official blog

0:19

post here as well as other things like

0:21

this benchmark showcasing how Kimi K3 is

0:24

essentially beating Fable 5 as well as

0:26

ChatGPT 5.6 on the front-end code arena.

0:29

Heading further down, I can see that

0:31

some people like Theo are already pretty

0:33

excited to see how it goes in terms of

0:35

3D modeling as well as orchestration,

0:37

which I'm excited to test out, too.

0:39

People are also discovering that it's a

0:41

lot cheaper compared to things like

0:43

Fable and ChatGPT, which have a

0:44

ridiculous pricing when it comes to

0:46

token use, and they just seem to use a

0:48

lot more tokens now. Here's the official

0:50

blog post for Kimi K3, and there's a lot

0:53

of information here if you want to learn

0:54

more about it, but I'll give you some of

0:56

the highlights. Like here are all the

0:58

benchmarks for things like coding and

1:00

general agent use. And usually Kimi K3

1:02

is now in the top three position. It's

1:04

even coming in first place for some of

1:07

these benchmarks beating out ChatGPT

1:09

Soul as well as Fable 5. And I'm really

1:11

interested to test this out in the real

1:13

world with my own examples. If we scroll

1:15

down further, we can actually see that

1:17

its token use is a lot more efficient.

1:19

Jumping onto the pricing, we can see

1:21

that 1 million tokens per input is $3,

1:24

and 1 million per output is $15. Now, if

1:26

we compare this to something like Fable,

1:28

there's going to be a huge three to five

1:30

x difference in terms of pricing that

1:32

you'll actually be able to afford,

1:33

especially when you're doing a

1:34

long-running tasks like people are now

1:37

with these one props that create entire

1:38

games or systems or startups. But here

1:41

you can see some graphs of that, and one

1:43

of the issues I'm often having is when

1:45

I'm using Fable 5, I often run out of

1:47

that 4-hour limit, and I swap to GPT

1:50

5.6, which then I run out of that limit.

1:52

So, having a model that actually can

1:54

keep on running throughout the whole day

1:56

would be really useful to me. If you

1:58

want to start using it, it's already

1:59

available here inside of Kimi code, Kimi

2:02

work, Kimi the website, as well as our

2:04

API. And when it comes to open source

2:06

and open weights, I'm pretty sure it's

2:08

the biggest model at 2.8 trillion

2:10

parameters. We have the largest behind

2:12

it being DeepSeek at 1.6 trillion.

2:15

Actually, I double-checked this on

2:16

Google, and as far as Google AI says, it

2:19

is the largest, which is absolutely

2:21

insane. The massive leapfrog it has over

2:24

the previous models to a point where I

2:27

really wonder just how many Mac minis is

2:29

required to be able to run this thing.

2:31

There is some more information here in

2:32

terms of how it actually operates under

2:34

the hood. What I'm personally interested

2:36

in is how it'll go for coding, but as a

2:38

part of that, I've heard that one of the

2:40

greater features that it's now capable

2:42

of doing is game dev and 3D design

2:45

because it's meant to have very strong

2:46

3D reasoning, coding, and vision

2:48

capabilities. And there are some great

2:50

examples to showcase this. Let's have a

2:52

look at these. The first example from

2:54

Kimi is this one here that looks like

2:56

something out of a Red Dead Redemption,

2:58

an open world with horse riding, rain,

3:00

water, trees, and much more. What it's

3:03

doing under the hood is using a

3:05

combination of vision and a loop, as

3:07

well as coding, to continuously check

3:09

screenshots and essentially build an

3:10

array on a game to get it to a point

3:12

where it creates something like this

3:14

Cyberpunk Spider-Man-like game. And it's

3:16

because these models are larger and

3:18

better with vision that it can do this.

3:20

Here's another example from someone on

3:22

Twitter who replicated this 3D game that

3:24

pulls inspiration from Paper Mario. And

3:26

it's doing a lot from not only flipping

3:28

the character, but even making the trees

3:30

transparent when the camera's too close.

3:32

Higgsfield AI have made their own

3:34

comparison between GPT 5.6 Soul and Kimi

3:37

K3 for a video generated with Seed Dance

3:40

2. And you decide which you think is

3:42

better based on the same prompt

3:44

essentially generated by each model.

3:46

Bridge Bench also has this a lava lamp

3:48

test, which Kimi K3 did probably one of

3:51

the best jobs I've seen so far, even

3:53

beating the example from Claude Fable 5.

3:56

Kimik A3 is also pretty good at creating

3:58

infographic style reports and

4:01

presentations. Not something I do as

4:03

often, but what I really am excited to

4:05

see is how it goes at creating

4:06

dashboards and UI elements because the

4:09

examples shown were really interesting,

4:11

such as resizable cards, bento grids, as

4:13

well as statistics that have their own

4:15

unique look and feel because I've been

4:17

finding the results from Fable and 5.6

4:20

to all look the same. Another point of

4:22

note is that it's pretty good at video

4:23

editing, from motion design to animation

4:25

to video editing in general. You see,

4:27

there aren't really any extensions where

4:30

AI is jumping into Adobe Premiere or

4:32

DaVinci Resolve and really helping you

4:34

with the process. I'd love to see where

4:35

this goes because right now in coding,

4:37

we have agents that plan, generate, and

4:39

even test the code for you. But in video

4:41

editing, that's not quite there yet. If

4:43

you weren't aware, there's also Kimik

4:45

Code, which I want to test out with the

4:47

new K3 model. Kimik Code is like Claude

4:50

Code or Codex, just its own CLI where

4:53

you can directly access the model and

4:55

it's got its own little harness that

4:57

works quite well. Let me jump in here

4:59

and select {slash} model and swap to the

5:02

latest K3 model. I've got a prompt where

5:05

I want to try out a 3D web design to

5:08

create a web page for my Sony FX3, which

5:11

I'm often filming with, and I'd love to

5:13

create one of those animated sequences

5:15

where as you scroll through the page,

5:17

you get to see the camera unfold into

5:19

the 3D elements it's made up I'm also

5:21

going to enable yellow mode, which

5:23

allows it to keep running without asking

5:25

me constant questions or to approve

5:27

different tasks. After running for a few

5:29

minutes, it generates this here with

5:31

this 3D mock-up of the FX3. This is a

5:33

pretty impressive. I know that some

5:35

models couldn't even create SVG shapes

5:37

in the past and now we've come to a

5:39

point where they can create 3D mock-ups

5:41

just like this. I can expand through

5:43

each one of these sections. I can click

5:45

through to any parts of the camera and

5:47

view more information. And overall, this

5:49

is a really engaging and interactive

5:51

page. Heading back to Kimiko, I've got

5:53

this massive prompt here to create a

5:55

Game Boy Advance emulator as a web page.

5:58

After running for a few minutes, it

6:00

generates this, which is damn

6:02

impressive. It's built on top of Vite

6:04

and TypeScript and 3.js using real 3D

6:07

models, but not only that, it's using a

6:09

real emulator. And the game you're

6:10

seeing in there is an actual ROM that's

6:13

loaded up and playing. If you're

6:14

wondering how this is possible, I'm

6:16

doing things like jumping onto Sketchfab

6:18

to grab 3D assets like this one here of

6:20

a space elevator. And then I grab this

6:23

URL and jump back into Kimiko. I can

6:25

plug in a prompt something like this

6:28

where I link it to the Sketchfab 3D

6:30

model. And then I ask it to replicate a

6:33

scene of a space elevator where it's

6:35

going from Earth all the way to space.

6:38

Kimiko is using those assets as well as

6:40

its better understanding of visuals to

6:42

create this design for a website using

6:45

things like 3.js and the models

6:48

themselves and creating the space

6:49

elevator launching into space. Space

6:52

itself as it's rising. This really gives

6:54

you a taste of what's already possible

6:56

as well as what the future might look

6:57

like with how quickly these models are

6:59

progressing. A big thanks to Kimiko for

7:01

sponsoring today's video. If you want to

7:03

7:06

Otherwise, I'll see you guys in the next

7:07

one.
