Kimi K3.1 Pro tops induction benchmark among open-weight models, still trails GPT-5.6 Sol

teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-24

A rare third-party eval where Kimi K3.1 Pro shines: on the Induction Challenge (Holdouts v2) it ties with or surpasses Opus 5 and is well ahead of Qwen 3.8 Max and Muse Spark 1.3, making it the top open-weight model on the leaderboard. It ran with MAX reasoning and a 500K-token completion cap including thinking. Caveats: it remains well below GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-6.1 Sol and Opus 5.5, so not frontier yet — and given its token usage it costs more than GPT-6.1 Sol. Scoring is strict: missing, erroring, empty, truncated or unparseable outputs all count as incorrect.
