Kimi K3.1 Pro on CrusaderBench: just below Opus 5.5, tied with Sonnet 5.5

Hesamation · x · 2026-10-24

A tester ran Kimi K3.1 Pro on CrusaderBench, where AI agents manage a medieval Stronghold Crusader village. Kimi scored just below Claude Opus 5.5 and tied with Sonnet 5.5. All models ran at medium reasoning except Kimi, which only has a high setting. Token use per turn: Kimi 550, Gemini 4 Argon 1,340, Opus 5.5 290, GPT-6.1 Sol 100. Kimi's reasoning is oddly compact ("Pop48, idle24 cap -> growth stopped") and it often reports its own mistakes ("Oops build consumed 1m51 game!").
