A 6-hour Kimi Swarm survey compares 23 open-weight models’ attention designs
1ncehost · reddit · 2026-07-25
The author built a survey document on 23 recent open-weight models in the 20B–500B range, focusing on their attention architectures and design trends.
Instead of doing the comparison manually, they used a Kimi K3 Swarm for about six hours to assemble a resource that compares the models, explains key architectural differences, and summarizes what patterns are emerging.
The result is published both as a PDF and as Markdown on GitHub for easier reading and reuse.
