Rohan Paul(@rohanpaul_ai):Grok 4.5 beat Kimi K3 on the same prompt at 13x lower cost. Very interesting experiment by AI/ML API (@aimlapi) Same prompt, same one-shot task Cost per figure: Grok 4.5 — $0.15 GPT 5.6 Sol — $0.60 Qwen 3.8 Max — $0.67 Kimi K3 — $1.98 Kimi spent ~19 minutes thinking and billed 13x more. Grok just shipped. For production agents, cost per completed task is starting to matter a lot more than cost per token.
