Kimi Shows Strong Performance in Agentic Coding
ssh4net · x · 2026-07-19
The author shares several observations regarding Kimi: - In agentic coding sessions, Kimi performs closely to the best public models from Q1 2026. - The author believes these results are hard to explain by simple distillation alone. - However, based on limited personal use, the model appears to be highly token-intensive, meaning it might not be as cheap to run as the public assumes. The surrounding context also mentions "auditing OpenAI models for backdoors," but the core focus remains an evaluation of Kimi's capabilities and costs.
