Kimi was accused of visually downplaying DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 in a Terminal Bench chart (65.7% vs 42.3%) while K3.1 Pro costs 20x more per task, and of mixing data sources for TB4.0 scores. Longhui Yu responded that the discrepancies also affected Opus 5.5, that matching score+cost data forced the source choice, and that their general practice is reporting the highest available score per model—with no intent to hide anything.
