Well, does it? I will probably switch to Kimi K3. But Anthropic does have the smartest model. They just can't charge $20 per month for it anymore and reject people from around the world from using Mythos. Drop the price by at least 2 times down to $10, better down to $5 and allow me to use Mythos and I'll switch back to Anthropic. The $2 price difference is worth it: I get better smarter models, after all. But for $3 vs $20 and on top of that they don't even let me use Fable(paying additional money only) and Mythos(can't even use it at all) it's a no brainer. Anthropic just need to get real and drop the prices, it runs on the same hardware so how bad can it be for them if people can host Kimi K3 and let people use it for $3? Haven't tried Kimi K3 as I have a sponsored Claude subscription.

You are completely off base with your assumption about what it costs to serve models. Nobody is gonna serve you K3 as cheaply as Anthropic is serving you Opus on any of their plans. Nobody has that kind of money to burn. Kimi does not even sell you a plan right now.
