Users say Kimi Linear 48B A3B is fast and usable, but oddly minimal in output

A Reddit user tests Kimi Linear 48B A3B, describing it as a 1M-context MoE model with 48B parameters that runs faster than Qwen 3.6 35B. The model can produce decent results and structured frontend pages, but tends to give the shortest acceptable answer and feels a bit off mentally.
