Testing Kimi K3.1 Pro on 105 planted bugs across two real repos: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (max) led at 42.7, Muse Wonder Full 1.0 hit 42, Opus 5.5 scored 41.7, while Kimi K3.1 Pro managed only 36 and Muse Spark 1.3 got 32.2. The author's verdict: factoring in cost, 'I see no reason to use this model.' The accompanying Bug Hunt Bench leaderboard shows Sonnet 5.5 Max leading at 51.3, with DeepSeek runs costing as little as $1 versus $154 for Sonnet 5.5.
