The comparison with Qwen/Kimi by "comparable architecture size" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Parameter count doesn't tell you much when the models aren't in the same league quality-wise.

I wonder if a better proxy would be comparing by capability level rather than size. The cost to go from "good" to "frontier" is probably exponential, not linear - so estimating Anthropic's real cost from what it takes to serve Qwen 397B seems off.
