Kimi K3.1 Pro hands-on: beats Opus 5.5 on visuals, still lags on general-purpose work
ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-24
Blogger ChrisGPT tested Kimi K3.1 Pro by having it build a Claude Code trailer. The visuals came out slightly better than what he got from Opus 5.5, though the audio leaned on sounds common to frontier model outputs. Verdict: Kimi delivers on visual work, but for generality and white-collar tasks he still prefers Opus 5.5 — 'a better-looking trailer doesn't make it a better model across the board.' Not sponsored.
