Bindu Reddy jokes that the US government has become a new authority for LLM benchmarks, after it said Kimi K3 is much worse than US frontier models.
- He says LiveBench AI had already reached the same conclusion a few days earlier.
- In his view, Kimi is a very cheap model in the Sonnet/Opus 4.6 class for long-running tasks.
- But he argues that this does not make it frontier intelligence.
