2. 3D tool use: factual, kimi made a thing.
3.a. Open source opus 5.5: lies. Opus 5.5 scores 58 on artificial analysis, kimi 3.1 pro scores 55. So not “literally opus 5.5”.
3.b. 5x cheaper: also seems like lies. kimi 3.1 pro api cost on openrouter: $2 / $10per 1M - opus 5.5 api cost on openrouter: $4 / $20per 1M. Artificial analysis’ cost per task looks about the same, maybe 2.5x cheaper at best.
4. A fact about how it can be run on ~$10k of hardware, and some opinion about how that’s cool.
5. Gap is one month. Potentially factual, but only if 58 == 55 ;)
6. Kimi trained with limited resources: Factual and true afaik.
To be clear, i am a fan of open weight models. I refuse to use anything else. I am just not a fan of lies and astroturfing.
