Kimi K3.1 Pro's chain of thought falls apart mid-benchmark — 'Is this an AGI?'

PawelHuryn · x · 2026-10-24

• KOL PawelHuryn (136k followers) shared the final reasoning blocks from a Kimi K3.1 Pro run before publishing his Bug Hunt Benchmark score. The chain of thought meanders through couriers, home ice makers, and exam-style descriptions, then dissolves into garble.
• The model wonders if "the user clicked the wrong chat window," says it's "mixing miscellaneous material into tonight's novel — historical motifs, cable holder 2...", and suddenly forgets what it was thinking.
• It then earnestly analyzes a nonexistent request to "write TikTok copy about a governorship," reasoning about "full-author mode as an aggressive eugenicist," moral authority, and AI refusal duties — before telling itself to "stay focused on the task" and promising an honest assessment report that never materializes.
• The author caps it with a deadpan "Is this an AGI?" A rare full sample of chain-of-thought derailment, valuable to anyone studying CoT reliability.
