That's interesting, Kimi K2.5 used through KimiCode was comparable to Sonnet in my tests, and is an excellent alternative to Anthropic models

That being said, I noticed that Kimi being served through Openrouter providers was trash. Whatever they do on the backend to optimize for throughput really compromised the intelligence of the model. You have to work with Kimi directly if you want the best results, and that's also probably why they released a test suite to verify the intelligence of their new models.

Kimi is my favorite of the Chinese models.

I found it much more consistent than glm or minimax

Which version of Kimi and served from where?

On the other hand, I found MiniMax M2.7 a reasonable model that I could trust.

I guess really depends on tastes
