Slop Profile Analysis Ties Kimi K3 Closest to GLM-5.3, Fueling Distillation Speculation

teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-31

teortaxesTex shared Slop Profile clustering screenshots showing kimi-k3's nearest neighbors are GLM-5.3 (0.705), ox-alpha and aion-3.5, while kimi-k3.1-pro clusters closest to gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-astra. Quoting @KingMaxime04, the thread argues Kimi 3.1 Pro was heavily RL-trained on Astra outputs and CoT, sharing GPT-6's repetitive phrasing. The author also notes Chinese models' slop similarity 'always goes backward in time', calling it a convenient training technique. The analysis offers quantitative evidence for ongoing distillation suspicions.
