Reddit user: Kimi K3 Pro shows little edge over DeepSeek 4.1 Flash
Hannibalj2ca · reddit · 2026-10-25
A Reddit user argues Kimi K3 Pro doesn't substantially outperform DeepSeek 4.1 Flash (1017). Key points: K3's 104 active layers make local quantized runs slow and degraded, while DeepSeek 4.1 Flash achieves close results with a far smaller footprint and faster inference. The author suggests sticking with 4.1 Flash rather than waiting for K3 Pro open weights on Nov 4, though he praises Moonshot's gamble on 2.8B small models.
