> Based on my entirely subjective experience, the $100 Moonshot plan using only K3 is comparable to the $200 Anthropic deal using the whole Fable allocation and Opus 4.8 for the rest.
For me, the Moonshot 100$ plan felt like it gives me lower total amount of work I can do than the Anthropic 100$ plan (probably within like 30% of each other). Kimi has way more generous 5 hour limits (never hit those once, whereas I do regularly with Opus) but the 7-day and monthly ones are lower. However, with the annual billing, Moonshot's 200$ tier plan becomes way better, because you get it for 159 USD per month.
There's also the odd thing of Anthropic's 100$ plan charging me 108 EUR so seems like their sticker price does not include VAT but Kimi's did, cause I paid like 87 EUR. Wrote down some initial thoughts at https://blog.kronis.dev/blog/kimi-k3-is-out-is-anthropic-don... but it's hard to do exact comparisons (even the same task will have way different real token amounts per model).
Still, Kimi K3 is a pretty cool model! On high reasoning, it was pretty close to Opus 4.8 and didn't seem to waste as many tokens as Max.
