The frontier just went open. Five weeks in July 2026: → Kimi K3 drops as the first open 2.8T-parameter model (weights download July 27) → Grok 4.5 hits 80 tokens/sec with 4.2× token efficiency → GPT-5.6 Sol sets new SOTA on Terminal-Bench → Claude Fable 5 returns after 18-day export blackout, still most powerful I tested all of them. What stood out: Kimi K3's "vision in the loop" beats even Fable 5 at game dev, 3D modeling, and frontend work. The model literally optimized its own GPU kernels, built a compiler, and designed a chip in 48 hours. Pricing gap is wild: → K3: $3/$15 per million tokens → Grok 4.5: $2/$6 → Sol: $5/$30 → Fable 5: still priced like royalty Qwen 2.5T, MiniMax M3 Pro, and GLM 5.5 are right behind K3. The open-weights wave isn't slowing down. Frontier intelligence stopped being something you rent. It's becoming something you own. This could be AI's Linux moment.
