Kimi-K3 Tested: Comprehensive Coding and Agent Capabilities
karminski3 · x · 2026-07-20
The author conducted a comprehensive coding capability test on Kimi-K3, covering frontend, backend, and Agent capabilities, and compared it against current SOTA models.
- Frontend & Backend: Kimi-K3 performed exceptionally well, quickly crushing the author's frontend test set, with only a few algorithmic variants left to optimize in the backend vector database tests.
- Agent Capabilities: While performance was solid, there is still room for improvement before reaching the very top.
- Conclusion: The overall results are surprising, even making one suspect that Scaling Law is far from over. The author joked that existing Coding Plan subscriptions might sell out again soon.
