The builds were a 3D open world, a neon racing game, a motion-design title sequence, a cinematic movie trailer, and a living Japanese woodblock painting. One was 2.4x faster, one was half the price, and only one made every build work. Here's the full comparison, with the real speed, token and cost numbers. π Get the exact prompts, the setup, and how I use Claude every day in my business inside the AI Profit Boardroom: https://aiprofitboardroom.com β±οΈ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:29 The test 1:08 Round 1: 3D world 1:58 Round 2: Racing game 2:33 AI Profit Boardroom 2:54 Round 3: Motion design 3:57 Round 4: Movie trailer 4:46 Round 5: Edo Lake 5:42 Speed, tokens and cost 6:28 The harness 6:45 The verdict 7:19 Build this yourself π The numbers (all 5 builds, draft + 2 improvement rounds each) β’ Kimi K3.1 Pro (via OpenRouter): 213 minutes, $4.76 billed, about 430,000 output tokens β’ Claude Opus 5.5 (in Claude Desktop / Claude Code): 87 minutes, about $9 at API list price (an estimate; it costs $0 extra on a Claude plan) β’ Builds working at the end: Kimi 4 of 5 (its final Edo Lake round broke on a typo, so its previous version is shown), Claude 5 of 5 π Join the AI Profit Boardroom: the Agent Operating System (Claude Code, Hermes, OpenClaw in one place), a 30-day setup roadmap, video tutorials, daily updates and 4 weekly coaching calls. https://aiprofitboardroom.com π Sources β’ Kimi K3.1 Pro on OpenRouter (pricing): https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3.1-pro β’ Simon Willison on Kimi K3.1 Pro: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/23/kimi-k31-pro/ β’ Kimi K3.1 Pro open-weights timeline: https://orcarouter.ai/blog/kimi-k3-1-pro-open-weights #ClaudeOpus #KimiK3 #AICoding #ClaudeCode #AI
