Kimi K3 is out, and I am genuinely glad that Anthropic and OpenAI have a serious competitor.

According to benchmarks, it comes close to the leaders across many tasks. But it does not have to be the best. It only needs to be good enough that users always have an alternative, and that OpenAI and Anthropic have a reason not to raise prices or make their products worse.

When I first started working at a large company, I heard this phrase: “We want every employee to treat the product as if it were their own.”

I think it is impossible to treat a product as your own if you have never tried to build your own product. It changes how you look at everything. So if you want to better understand product responsibility, I would suggest not reading another article, but building your own project of any size.

The difference becomes clear quickly.
