Kimi K3 Wildly Overestimates Project Workload
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-20
This post jokes about Kimi K3's "thinking traces": the model estimated the author's FrankenSim project at 27,500 hours, though the author's actual goal was just a month or two.
The attached screenshot shows the model's thinking interface, listing the number of questions, estimated hours, dependencies, and some "authenticity/consistency" bug stats. Overall, it highlights the model's exaggerated judgment regarding project scale and timelines during reasoning.
