GPT-6 Astra vs Kimi K3. I'm comparing these because the gap between US models and Chinese models is already getting small. If US AI labs slow down, they will be the ones most affected by it. > Astra did it in one shot 6m 20s and $8. > Kimi K3 got almost the same result, but I had to use 2 follow-up prompts. Total: 12 min and $6.35. The results are almost identical. If US labs slow down, China takes the AI race. They will ship Astra-level open-weight models. China is already good at this. Open weights become the default. That's a nightmare for US labs.
