bytebot · x · 2026-07-17
The post claims that Google has delayed Gemini 3.5 Pro because it "might not be good enough yet," while suggesting that Kimi's newly released model is nearing or has achieved SOTA status, proving that Chinese labs are no longer lagging behind.
The author also raises safety concerns based on this: if the original worry was directed at Fable (or Mythos), why isn't there similar concern over Kimi? Finally, the post notes that everyone will just have to wait for the open weights, which are rumored to drop on July 27, 2026.
