My testing prompt for these models is by no means objective or repeatable (like the pelican) but it's a nice test of curiosity:

> Impress me with a 1 page html file

Result: https://ydaurtg3fdwhq.kimi.page/

Came out looking pretty cool! By contrast, Fable produced a moderately more interesting "live observatory" of the solar system.

Hah, that is indeed a pretty cool result.

This is a cool idea. I know I'd rather see this comment on every model release than the pelican.

Those thin capitalized eyebrows are becoming like the emdashes of visual design

I asked the same and got something vaguely similar. Then I asked for a demoscene-inspired demo in a non-traditional setting.

Nice qualitative test!

Just like you I am super impressed by Kimi K3.

I do a qualitative benchmark series making 3D explainers and so here's Kimi K3 vs Claude Fable:

I've put links to the posts on GLM5.2, Opus 4.8, Chat GPT 5.5. I grab video screencaps so you can compare in detail. The full interactive Kimi output is at the bottom of the post if you want a comprehensive 3D play around

Very neat, this is definitely a more complete prompt than mine!

> This Kimi K3 had only one prompt, because I was using the free tier and it ran out of free credits. So I was not able to go on a Journey with Kimi K3. I did with Fable, which is why some elements on Fable look good… for instance there is a partially complete pyramid in Fable that I added with additional prompting.

This should be the first thing on this page.

Fun! It generated a mandelbox fractal for me: https://mandelbox.kimi.page

Ha, Konami code and all! That's impressive. I think Kimi has had the best design sense of any frontier-ish model for about 6 months.

Wow, I like that a lot more than what it gave me! Shows you how wide the range of outcomes can be.

Runs great on mobile!

Do you, by any chance have the link to the Fable generated one?

Impressive indeed!

That page is going to give me a seizure.
