Kimi weights could turn the debate into hardware economics versus V4

- The post argues that once Kimi weights become public, the conversation will shift to unit economics versus V4.
- It claims V4 likely wins decisively on hardware below GB300 NVL72, and maybe even there, while the only strong case for Kimi is that it is the better model.
- The attached quote discusses Kimi’s hybrid linear-attention design and suggests the real debate is about decode-path efficiency, KV fetch overhead, and scalability on expensive hardware.
