mattturck · x · 2026-08-10

A developer from the LM Studio team shared hands-on experience with the Kimi K3 model's coding capabilities. Using the Bionic coding agent powered by Kimi K3, they found its performance surprisingly robust.

In a specific case, with just a single prompt, Kimi K3 spent 3 hours optimizing the Maple-Preview project, boosting decoding speed on the iPhone 17 Pro from 80 tk/s to 130 tk/s—a 60% performance improvement entirely without human intervention.
