As Chinese start-up Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 model gains attention for offering powerful AI capabilities, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the ChatGPT parent plans to stay ahead by delivering the strongest mix of intelligence, speed and affordability.
OpenAI Wants the Best AI at Every Price Point Speaking on the Invest Like the Best podcast earlier this week, Altman said OpenAI’s goal is to provide the best possible balance between AI performance and cost across different products and use cases.
"Our goal is to offer at every point along the Pareto-optimal frontier the best option for intelligence and price," Altman said.
He added that OpenAI aims to compete across the full range of AI offerings, from powerful frontier models to smaller, cheaper systems designed for faster and more affordable use.
Altman argued that OpenAI’s models currently provide a stronger value proposition than Kimi at certain levels of speed and performance.
