Kimi appears to know a PS3 key but misses the last two bytes
banteg · x · 2026-07-26
A user reports an odd Kimi behavior: it appears unable to remember the last two bytes of a key it should know. The attached screenshot shows a code snippet discussing a well-known PS3 PKG AES key and highlights the model’s strangely selective recall.
The post is essentially a small model-behavior anecdote: Kimi seems to “know” the key but fails on the final bytes, which makes it a useful example of brittle recall or hallucination in a concrete technical context.
