Fireworks AI has released an evaluation report comparing the open-source model Kimi K3 with the closed-source model Fable 5 across roughly 1,030 agent tasks spanning SWE, terminal operations, algorithms, multilingual coding, and legal use cases. According to the report, the two models posted nearly identical accuracy on the SWE benchmark, at 92.4% for Kimi K3 and 92.6% for Fable 5. The results were close overall, but each model showed strength in different categories: K3 led in symbolic math and developer tools, while Fable 5 performed better in web-related tasks and data visualization. In longer terminal-based tasks, K3 independently solved 11 tasks that Fable 5 did not complete. The report also said a task-level routing strategy, which dynamically assigns work between the two models, pushed accuracy to 93%, above either standalone model. On cost, Fireworks AI said K3 holds a major advantage on its platform, with long-horizon agent tasks costing as little as one-fiftieth of Fable 5. The report recommended using open-source models as the default option and letting a router keep learning the best model-task pairing to balance quality and cost.

Fireworks AI has published an evaluation report comparing the open-source model Kimi K3 with the closed-source model Fable 5 across about 1,030 agent tasks. The test set covered software engineering (SWE), terminal operations, algorithms, multilingual coding, and legal scenarios, according to ChainCatcher.

The report said the two models posted very similar results on the SWE benchmark, with accuracy at 92.4% for Kimi K3 and 92.6% for Fable 5. Their overall performance was close, though the breakdown showed different strengths. K3 led in symbolic mathematics and developer tools, while Fable 5 performed better in web tasks and data visualization.

In long-horizon terminal tasks, Kimi K3 independently solved 11 tasks that Fable 5 did not complete. Fireworks AI also said that using a task-level routing strategy to dynamically assign work between the two models lifted accuracy to 93%, above the result of either model on its own.

On cost, the report said Kimi K3 has a clear advantage on the Fireworks platform. In long-horizon agent tasks, its cost can be as low as one-fiftieth of Fable 5. Based on those findings, the report recommended using open-source models as the default choice, while relying on a router to keep learning the best match between tasks and models in order to balance quality and cost.
