This is too expensive to be a viable model. If it were $5/1m output, it might be another story. At these prices, there's no reason to use this over GPT 5.6.

neither ClosedAI nor Misanthropic will let you use their models without them watching and storing the exchanges indefinitely. no sane company dealing with PII and/or trade secrets allows its employees to use those.
Is this really true? I was led to believe my company had an enterprise zero data retention agreement with them and it’s why we didn’t get access to Fable
Is there proof of what you’re saying or is it just a guess?
Read the terms of the ZDR policy with a critical eye. You’ll find that Anthropic retains almost arbitrary rights to retain anything it wants.

oh, I've no doubt the US government and giga corporations can get zero data retention without ten pages of fine print. the rest of us can't.

In context it seems your recommendation is to instead send those data to models within Chinese nation-network space. I’m not here to defend US frontier model companies; your accusation is probably accurate. But I doubt sending data to China is an improvement.
with open weight models, you have three other options
A) use a provider that pinky-swears not to store your data. they obviously don't give a fuck about 'distillation attacks', so they have little motivation to voluntarily monitor and store your queries. reasonably high likelihood of privacy.
B) rent the hardware and run the model yourself. very high likelihood of privacy.
C) buy the hardware and run the model yourself. absolute certainty of privacy.

That depends entirely on the hosting situation. If someone can provide a subscription plan at slightly lower rates, it's absolutely compelling.
Moonshot has subscriptions maxing out at $199/month. Not home so not had a chance to see if K3 is included yet.
EDIT: Just switched my Kimi-CLI session to K3 and resumed my ongoing /goal... Will be interesting to see if I notice a difference.
I'll say after having it run for a few hours that I still don't feel it matches even Sonnet. It still does a lot of back and forth that feels dumb, but it's possible this is in effect Anthropic tricking us by hiding the full reasoning traces - who knows what Sonnet still sounds like if you were to see the whole thing.
