teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-16
Reflecting on a comment from a year ago—"Kimi K2 has many flaws, but I want K3 more than ever"—the author now believes K3 will be highly capable, useful, and "glorious," as the team aims to deliver a standout moment comparable to R1.
The quoted content congratulates Yang Zhilin and Moonshot AI, praising them for not "blinking while looking at the sun." It also mentions that Wenfeng now has a true rival, framing this momentum as a mix of "open-source sentiment" and genuine passion.
