Leak: Kimi K3.1 Flash reportedly in training, DeepSeek 4.1 Pro still 'grinding'

X user teortaxesTex amplified an unverified leak from an insider account: DeepSeek 4.1 Pro (the 'big whale') is still in training with no release timeline, while Kimi K3.1 Pro's naming is public and a cheaper K3.1 Flash variant is being trained for a budget-friendly release soon. The leaker argues DeepSeek and Kimi are taking opposite paths reflecting their different cultures, and that the gap between Chinese models and OpenAI/Anthropic is much larger than it appears. Treat as a rumor.
