S2. Ep28 - China's New AI Models Are Nearly as Good as Fable 5 - But Should Your Business Use Them?

Episode notes

Would you trust a Chinese AI model with your business data? In this episode, Noel and Katie dig into Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI and Alibaba's Qwen 3.8, the new Chinese models that have snuck into the gap between GPT 5.6 Sol and Fable 5, at a third of the price. Noel explains what they're brilliant at, from stunning 3D websites to acing the Clyde Bench with a perfect score, and the data security risks every business needs to weigh up before switching, including what Chinese cybersecurity laws could mean for your customer data. They also cover the end of the Fable 5 saga now locked to Teams and Max plans only and how Noel burned through his usage limit twice in one day, and whether Sonnet 5 and Opus 4.8 are quietly getting worse since Fable 5 arrived.
