Mozilla report: Chinese open AI models close to parity with US frontier models

Mozilla's updated State of Open Source AI report shows Chinese open models like Kimi K3 achieving near-parity with US frontier models. Kimi K3 scores just three points behind Anthropic's Fable 5 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index while costing only 30% as much. The report recommends organizations use open models as default for most work.

“[A Closed model] earns its premium in a few places: expert professional work, high-intensity retrieval, and long context. We see the decision to pay for closed [models] as workload-specific rather than organization-specific.”
