I dont know what the benchmarks are supposed to represent, but to me Kimi K2.6 is indistinguishable from e.g Opus 4.6.

How much would one have to invest in hardware to feasibly run a usefully large Kimi K2.6?

Around $35-45k if willing to use it comfortably (fast to answer, large context) as coding agent.

There's no set-in-stone answer to these kinds of questions, it all depends what "useful" performance means to you.

Yeah, I know. Was just throwing it out to see what folks would say based on their idea of useful.
