Testing Kimi K3 for Frontend: Delivers a Full Day's Work in 1 Hour
FuSheng_0306 · x · 2026-07-22
A developer used the Kimi K3 model to build two frontend projects: a glowing ribbon animation that follows the mouse, and a web page featuring 9 cards flipping and sliding simultaneously.
The author noted that writing the complex frontend animations manually would take at least a full day, but with Kimi K3, the task was completed in under an hour. This high cost-effectiveness is seen as a strong signal that could put pressure on OpenAI and Anthropic.
