Kimi post pairs a compute anecdote with a subjective top-5 model ranking
vista8 · x · 2026-07-21
A post combining a Kimi researcher anecdote with a hand-curated model ranking says a typical OpenAI researcher may have access to astonishing compute, while Moonshot’s team reportedly impressed the author with a strong internal culture despite GPU constraints.
It also lists a current leaderboard as:
- Claude Fable 5
- GPT 5.6 sol
- Kimi K3
- Grok 4.5
- GLM 5.2
The author adds that Zhipu looks promising, saying GLM 5.2 is around 750B parameters and that a 1T–10T scale could push it further.
