According to rohanpaul, Moonshot deliberately weakened Kimi K3.1 Pro's hacking ability before its open release: the uncut version solved 90.5% of in-house exploit tasks, while the released model solved 81%.
Even so, the released model still far outperforms K3 at 33.3%, and trails only DeepSeek V4.1-Flash at 85.7% by Moonshot's count. The disclosure sheds light on deliberate capability trimming of exploit skills ahead of open-weights releases.
