KIMI K3.1 PRO IS MAKING 3D GENERATION WAY CHEAPER
i asked both models to build the exact same animated 3D tabletop railway.
→ detailed train tracks, miniature stations and tiny buildings
→ a fully animated railway world with moving elements
→ Kimi: 18 mins vs GPT-6 Astra: 29 mins
→ Kimi: $6.20 vs GPT-6 Astra: $16.40
roughly 1.6x faster and 2.6x cheaper for a comparable result.
open weight models are getting seriously competitive with frontier AI.
