Moonshot’s Kimi K3 beat Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol to top the Code Arena frontend leaderboard — yet it struggles on advanced math. Also: a roundup of no-code/open-source LLM builders, running powerful models locally on a 24GB GPU with Q4 quant, and Perplexity’s WANDR benchmark revealing research agents still lag.
