Opinion: Kimi K3 Will Accelerate Front-end Model Iteration, Opus5 Expected to Be Released Soon

BlockBeats News, July 17th, Renowned AI analyst Chubby (@kimmonismus) commented on the newly released Kimi K3 model, stating that in benchmark tests, the K3 model has surpassed Anthropic's Opus 4.8. This will compel the U.S. Frontier Lab to accelerate the release pace of Opus 5 and GPT-6 to cope with the competition from the East.

Anthropic's Opus 5 is expected to be released soon. As for OpenAI, although GPT-5.6 Sol still holds a slight overall lead over Kimi K3, the gap is so small that it is almost negligible. Therefore, the planned GPT-6 will be released ahead of schedule.
