The Kimi K3 model has been shown to be competitive with Fable 5, and together, they form a new state-of-the-art approach.
Benchmarking over 1,000 agentic tasks revealed that using a router to combine the strengths of open-source Kimi K3 and closed Fable 5 can achieve a 93% task accuracy rate. K3 excels in terminal, symbolic math, and dev tooling, while Fable is superior in web, data visualization, and multi-language tasks. This combination offers up to 50 times better cost-efficiency compared to using Fable alone.
