Quoting a viral demo of Kimi K3.1 building a full launch video with Three.js in 5 minutes for $1.10, user @imjustnewatai makes an unverified claim that the model's output style—especially its "music taste"—suggests heavy distillation from Claude Opus or "Fable," calling it "not looking good for Kimi."
The original post praised K3.1 as a comeback. The distillation accusation is personal speculation with no official evidence.
