Kimi K3 Generates a 32-Page Chain of Thought
emollick · x · 2026-07-19
While testing Kimi K3, the author asked it to recommend two relevant poems about the "current state of GenAI." The model generated a chain of thought spanning **32 pages**, which the author noted contained numerous **loops and dead ends**. The key takeaway here isn't the poetry itself, but K3's reasoning performance on complex, open-ended tasks: the thinking process is incredibly lengthy, but its overall stability is somewhat lacking.
