Kimi's K2-to-K3 streak nears DeepSeek's credibility, but Yang Zhilin is no Liang Wenfeng

AI commentator teortaxesTex argues Moonshot has built goodwill on par with DeepSeek through the steady run of K2, K2.5, K2.6 and K3, but says the real difference isn't benchmarks or vibes — it's character. Kimi has long leaned on ad spending, and K2 was a virtue signal answering R1; for all his credentials, Yang Zhilin is simply not Liang Wenfeng. A follow-up quips they may need a banger V5 from DeepSeek to get inspired again.
