gnukeith says Kimi K2 is currently his favorite LLM: positive in tone but not agreeable — "so many LLMs just agree with you even though you are completely wrong, I haven't had that experience with Kimi K2."
He adds that some people say it's even better at coding than Sonnet 4, rating the model highly overall.
