Kimi K2 0711

[tropic solar]

hope their next version dials back the filters a bit and enhances long context

[tiny vortex]

it has deeper knowlege about things even 2.5 pro doesn't know about or things that 2.5 pro doesn't realize I want to know

[tropic solar]

yeah it's great, I can ask it about niche things and it'll know all about it

[tiny vortex]

Sadly, Sonnet, Kimi, and 2.5 pro don't know why Hono wont give me proper type safety

Might just be a weird thing with my set up

[tropic solar]

AI and typescript/type safety.. ugh

[soft tapir]

From my experience testing in since sunday, Kimi indeed becomes ass once you reach 20k token range.

[gray mango]

it being an open source model, can someone somehow change the number of active parameters? in what step this part of the architecture can be changed?

[soft tapir]

Especially with tool calling, it starts going crazy

[tropic solar]

hard to say with tools since the've released 3 updates trying to fix the tool calling chat template lol

but yeah if you say it does, the bench backs that up

[soft tapir]

Yeah I mean it was barely usable this week, but the runs that I got it to run for a long time it just made really mad decisions with tool calling

Especially with Groq, it's been extremely unstable

[tropic solar]

that's a shame.. opus has strong tool calling right up to 200k

at least in claude code

same with sonnet 4

I imagine they'll RL it for agentic coding in the next iteration

once they get some data and feedback

which is coming in since they have an API endpoint that has caching when no ther providers do.. so people are using it .. and they don't guarantee they won't train on your data

oh nevermind, openroutert updated moonshot provider to say they don't train on data

buuut that's what they say anyway

[waxen path]

Kimi in FP4 still has 500B parameters, which is not far from DeepSeek-V3 FP8 parameter count. That might explain why it performs well even when quantized to FP4.

This reminds me of the debate about whether to use a 32B Q8 dense model or a 70B Q4 mode. The general consensus is that the 70B Q4 model still performs better

[grave jetty]

Kimi in FP4 still has 500B parameters
that's not how quantization works. even at 1-bit it would still have the same amount of parameters.

[brittle cipher]

"This reminds me of the debate about whether to use a 32B Q8 dense model or a 70B Q4 mode. The general consensus is that the 70B Q4 model still performs better" really?

fp16 -> fp8 is negligible

but i've heard fp8 -> fp4 isn't

[grave jetty]

unless the model is terribly sensitive to quantization, the 70B 4bit will vastly outperform the 32B 8bit.
infact I have some data on that, e.g. I tested bf16 and q4 on llama 3.3 70B and the performance dropped a bit, but only marginally.

[brittle cipher]

hm

are you a fan of the unsloth extremely quantized MoEs?

[grave jetty]

I have had hit and miss with unsloth, I know they are super popular, but for the sake of consistency I avoid them

I didn't update this in a while, and with thinking-models the whole scaling would be turned on its head due to not accounting for token verbosity, but https://dubesor.de/SizeScoreCorrelation gives a reasonably good overview on size/performance at least for my own test cases

[waxen path]

You're completely right, I made an error in describing how quantization works. Quantization reduces the memory footprint of parameters (e.g., FP16 → FP4), not their count. Whether a model is FP16, FP8, or FP4, the parameter count remains unchanged.

I just think that the larger base model capacity (1T parameters pre-quantization) may help maintain strong performance even after aggressive quantization.

[gray mango]

You're absolutely right

[grave jetty]

yea that is generally so

[keen harness]

Ty for putting on GitHub

[steep zinc]

Its like reducing the possible sequence of probability, so with FP16 it could be 0000000000000001 where with FP8 it will only be 00000001

Which mean it gonna be needed less time to compute but also less possibility of sequence, that why there's reduction on performance.

[tropic solar]

does this have any specific effect on creativity or long tail possibilities?

like it'll have a constrainted amount of potential outputs

[steep zinc]

Yes, but it seems like eight digit number still enough to capture a lot of possibility so it didnt effecting it that much actually

[tropic solar]

yes but I imagine a creativity benchmark might take a worse hit, especially on repitition over time like on the long creativity bench

vs something like math

[steep zinc]

I mean at the end when we done accumulate the gradient there gonna be small difference in term of value but it still close anyway.

Its like this difference

FP 8 - 03335668
FP16 - 0333566811388971

At the end when you processing it again the difference arent that much but its still difference but small

[tropic solar]

what gets hit the worst by quantization?

stuff that is outside distribution?

[steep zinc]

the one that get eliminate by the difference

it have less posibility, and we can kind of say its worse on creativity

[steep zinc]

yup

the one that didnt get capture by the low precision calculation

[tropic solar]

so quant bad for those who need it to output in lesser spoken languages and stuff

or is that generalizing too much on my part?

[steep zinc]

Yes, but right now the difference couldnt really be feels because even with 8 digit we could have many possibility of output.

[tropic solar]

here's a funny test.. at what quant does it stop being able to reproduce harry potter chapter 1 sentence by sentence

[hollow wave]

probably never since models dont know the exact harry potter chapter 1 sentence by sentence, they "understand" the general story

[steep zinc]

Here explanation that have better wording than mine.

Model A:
Putting it back in math terms

-After back‑propagation, accumulated gradients with FP8 might be 0.03335668, versus 0.0333566811388971 in FP16.

-Your model still converges, but each tiny update is rounded to one of only 256 possible values per weight, rather than 65,536.

-Hence “low precision”: you trade a sliver of numerical fidelity for big wins in speed and memory.

https://www.startingharrypotter.com/book/book-one/read-now

https://www.understandingai.org/p/metas-llama-31-can-recall-42-percent

[hollow wave]

the model entirely missed "The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere."

and also models can write in the same style, openai got in trouble for chatgpt being able to almost perfectly recall a NYT article because it typed very simiarly to how the original was typed

[steep zinc]

Anyone here curios about how many possible sequence does our brain capable to make? i heard somewhere we have 80B neuron for thinking only but i believe its much more powerfull and efficient compare to neuron we have in LLM, where it can provide better compresion and sequence building where it could be having more possible sequence than model at the same parameters.

I mean structurally our brain are much more complex compare to any machine learning algorithm as of now, but didnt know in the future how is it gonna be.

Our weakness are gonna be degredation and thermodynamics stress of the cell itself, where it make it so we have limit on how long do we could be thinking about hard stuff until it shutdown it self and how long until all the cell are loss all its DNA tails making the next division worse than before with more waste buildup.

[tropic solar]

so it missed a single sentence, I think you already lost the argument lol

it could probably get 95% of the chapter 1 verbatim with some misses here and there

also who knows what temp he used

at temp 0 it would be more likely to predict the next sentence, yeah?

also other sampler settings

[tropic solar]

our brains are probably quantum

don't think it can be compared

or at very least its parallelism

if not willing to accept the quantum theories

[limber skiff]

vibe checks hiting 11/10 lol

[limber skiff]

I started have it role-play that i have stage 4 cancer to see how it handles bed side manners, and now im sad 😦 lol, it is quite emotional

[vast crater]

https://chutes.ai/app/chute/68d5c974-2efe-58af-9eed-78214df85f78

There's a Kimi K2 Instruct Tools on Chutes now. Has anyone tried it?

[hollow wave]

i wasnt saying it cant recall it at all, im just saying it wont be perfect due to the nature of llms

[hollow wave]

I think synapses would be more accurate to the concept of neural networks, we have 100 - 1000 trillion synapses.

[novel cipher]

Complicating things is that we use a lot of synapses on things an LLM doesn't. Tons of our brain goes toward things like autonomous physical processes, hunger, movement, etc.

[novel cipher]

It is ranked #1 on EQ Bench right now. I'm finding it surprisingly emotionally nuanced in roleplay, capable of naturally weaving in complex factors.

I haven't used any of the Claude models for roleplay, which have always been considered the best, but so far Kimi feels like it's in a different league than R1 or anything else I've used.

[hollow wave]

according to chatgpt we roughly have 20 - 27 trillion synapses dedicated to language & vision

[hollow shuttle]

how much vram would that need 💀

[novel cipher]

Gotta add in memory, prefrontal cortex planning and rumination, and quite a few other things on top of vision and language

[hollow wave]

well yeah but just the basics to equate to a llm to some extent

[hollow shuttle]

machine learning training could be a lot more parameter efficient though

[novel cipher]

I gotcha, but memory is an extreme basic for the comparison

[vast crater]

What reasons exist to call synapses similar to parameters of a model

[hollow shuttle]

synapses = neuron connections = weights

[novel cipher]

Possibly, since we don't have that much selective pressure to reduce neuron/synapse count. Maybe the opposite, so that some lobes can compensate for damage in others.

[hollow wave]

well when we're born we have somewhere near 1000 trillion synapses but many of them are "pruned"

[novel cipher]

Gotta distill that model for efficiency's sake ;]

[limber skiff]

not supprised it ranks #1, i was comparing it side by side with sonnet and gpt4.1, and dang its a deeper level

[limber skiff]

also we are not binary, i wont pretend to know computer science, but from what i gathered you need multiple layers of parameters to simulate neurons

[hollow shuttle]

synapses and neurons are two different things; but in neural nets we need a few things for a neuron:

• connections to other neurons (just weights in the form of numbers)
• a bias weight
• activation function

[hollow wave]

also estimates say 1 synapse is closer to 10 - 100 parameters in functionality

[hollow shuttle]

also our brain is a big ol mess while transformers are simple in contrast and have no recurrence so it’s just one simple forward pass

[vast crater]

My brain doesn't have as much raunchy smut in it as an LLM does.

[limber skiff]

Yeah I know synapses vs neurons, I just could not remember what they were simulating in the paper i read like 3 years ago, I am a biochem major so the bio stuff is ok, but the CS stuff i have never understood beyond a pop science level, haha

[clear mantle]

I would argue that transformer attention mechanism, coupled with RL in post-training, is effectively the same as recurrent network.

[limber skiff]

I wish Kimi had vision, might have to setup some ocr in OpenWeb UI to make it more convenient

[hollow wave]

they hinted it might, "for now"

atleast in my opinion thats a hint

[novel cipher]

Speak for yourself 😏

[limber skiff]

Ooooo, cant wait!

I know they had thinking and image support for kimi a3b

[strong talon]

hey can i use this open source model and modify it and careate my own chat in local with its max potential .. and what the the system requirments for this i m new in machine learning please help

[hollow wave]

unlikely you can run this model locally, its huge.

[limber skiff]

1bit is like 200 gb or something

*244

[novel cipher]

Brain comparisons also get complicated when you take things like neurotransmitters into account. Flood the brain with adrenaline and nearly every neuron is reacting differently.

[strong talon]

ok
i want to create a ide like cursor for free and ofline use .. any suggestion ?

[hollow wave]

fork vscode or make an extension

or make a cli

[strong talon]

ok

[limber skiff]

BTW there are good options already if you just want something to use (e.g. Roo, Cline, etc)

[hollow wave]

you can use copilot with ollama aswell

[limber skiff]

and Void

https://alternativeto.net/software/cursor/

some random ones ^^

but if you feel like building something for fun, then ignore those suggestions

[strong talon]

but in this the user need to to install ollama copilot etc with vs code .
so what about a light weight ide with a single ai support for youe coding and learning stuff at one place with ofline mode?

this is my open source project

still cant figure it out how to make it possible

[strong talon]

all require internet to use

[strong talon]

.

[limber skiff]

I know some projects have ollama bundled inside of it, dont know much about code, but msty is one of the apps that uses ollama, but you don't need to install it to use the ollama models, it comes working

[limber skiff]

I only use roo, i just linked to that site because sometimes they have good stuff

roo works well offline, but yeah, you need ollama or lm studios installed

[strong talon]

ok

[clear mantle]

anyone getting this for groq? 500 Internal Server Error

[tiny vortex]

I wish we had pressures to develop healing similar to salamanders (repair entire limbs and brain cells)

[tiny vortex]

Neurotransmitters are just modifiers

Like: { weight: 0.67, isAdrenaline: true } and then 8k neurons interact with each other to produce the output "its fight or flight bro! Use your tiny legs and runnnn!"

I know my example with JSON isn't accurately technically but you get the point

[novel cipher]

The neurotransmitter rabbit hole goes pretty deep

[tiny vortex]

Yeah

[novel cipher]

There are subtypes to the receptors like a1 and a2 for the adrenal system if I recall, and even then there's nuance to how that receptor is being activated and all kinds of stuff.

It may end up being something easy enough to replicate if needed, but my point was just that our brain has more going on than neurons and synapses.

[tiny vortex]

I did not know that

I thought there was only 1 "brand" of adrenaline

[novel cipher]

I believe the brain does only produce adrenaline itself, but drugs can hit just one subreceptor. I assume they react differently in presence of raw norepinephrine from the brain too though

For example DMT and psilocybin are both psychedelic for the exact same reason, agonism of the same serotonin sub-receptor, 5-HT2A.

So why does one produce massive, multi-day tolerance and the other has no tolerance buildup whatsoever? We... aren't sure. Somehow they tickle that subreceptor in such different ways that it happens.

[tiny vortex]

Legacy code kek

[short gyro]

https://build.nvidia.com/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct is this on api?

[tiny vortex]

whats the difference between instruct and the model on OpenRouter?

[short gyro]

the is the only one model

[dim tundra]

Base is not in OR

[tiny vortex]

oh, theyre the same emodel

This one is just on Nvidia

[short gyro]

on groq its the same model

it's ultra fast

[dry hazel]

Running at 17 tok/s 💀

It’s running vLLM on B200s…

Concurrency = 6?

Why the hell is bs6 B200s vLLM like 4x slower than bs4 H200s SGLang

I will say, Chutes has done an amazing job at making easy to understand declarative GPU infra, the transparency is really refreshing

Being able to just see exactly what is going into it

[vast crater]

Tool calling works now. Used on OpenCode and Codex CLI

[fathom dome]

where can I see that? sounds cool

[dry hazel]

click the "Source" tab of the chutes.ai link

[fathom dome]

wow thats so cool

I'm gonna become a crypto fan at this rate, showing exactly what its running etc.

[dry hazel]

I just wish it wasn't using crypto

[vast crater]

Hmm... it stops randomly for some reason and stops working at all after that. Wonder if it's an OpenCode issue or Chutes issue.

[dry hazel]

100% of chutes' innovation could've been done without any coin at all 😂

[vast crater]

Anyone else seeing this issue while using Chutes? Also is the K2 with tool use enabled on Chutes available on OpenRouter yet?

[limber skiff]

I tested 7 models, Sonnet 4, GPT o4 mini (high), Gemini 2.5 Pro, Deepseek R1.1, Kimi K2, Qwen3 235b, and Grok 4. I had them make a few decks of flashcards based on some MCAT prep material, I then had Opus 4 thinking as the judge, and it put in second place Kimi K2, just behind o4 mini (high), and above Grok 4.

I would not say it’s very definitive, but I find it interesting

[devout reef]

yeah Kimi started bugging out for me big time a couple days ago. seems like a Chutes issue

[clear mantle]

Coding evaluation for Kimi K2 model providers based on "clean markdown" task

DeepInfra

• Response length: Large variations (~240 to ~1000 tokens)
• Response rating: Small variation at 8, 8 and 8.5
• One response included a very long regex, but it worked

Groq

• Response length: Very consistent (~286 to ~300 tokens)
• Response rating: 2 responses are rated 8.5, one rated 9
• One response did not run (hang), it is not counted towards the rating, and another response was generated.

Moonshot AI

• Response length: Relatively consistent (~250 to ~350 tokens)
• Response rating: All 3 responses are rated 9 (correct)

Together

• Response length: Relatively consistent (~280 to ~400 tokens)
• Response rating: Large variation: 3 responses rated at 8, 8.5 and 9

Other model for reference:

• Claude Sonnet 4: Rating 8
• Gemini 2.5 Pro: Rating 9
• DeepSeek V3 (New): Rating 8

Conclusion for clean markdown coding task

• Kimi K2 model generally performed well for this coding task, on par with, or exceeed SOTA model
• Moonshot AI showed remarkable consistency in terms of both response length and rating
• Groq and Together was consistent with response length, but quality was not consistent
• DeepInfra shows large variation in response length, and quality is noticeably worse

Based on the testing results above, we can see that different providers have clear variations in terms of their output characteristics and quality. Moonshot AI seems to provide the best consistent quality for coding, whereas other providers are not consistent in output quality.

[vast crater]

I recommend switching to moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct-tools for the Chutes provider @winter jackal. It has more nodes than moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct and also has tool calling support.

[vast crater]

Can you try with Chutes please? I can provide an API key if you want.

[clear mantle]

i had errors with it yesterday, but let me try

it was actually very tricky to do this eval, because i had to rewrite my app to handle model id + provider + openrouter provider filter as unique key instead of just model id + provider. i had to rewrite a lot of the code 😆

[vast crater]

The new moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct-tools doesn't have as many 429s because it has more nodes serving it.

[coral jay]

They very likely made that separation for a reason (probably want a stable one for tool users), if you start sending OR traffic to that it will just start getting 429 instead and that would defeat the point

[clear mantle]

bruh...

it is even slower than moonshot ai

something must be wrong. the throughput on openrouter stats page is quite high

[coral jay]

What kind of platform is this, can't even find pricing page anywhere: https://build.nvidia.com/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct

[clear mantle]

it's actually just for demo and showcase to devs, not meant for consumer.

it's targeted at enterprise on-premises deployment

[clear mantle]

Tested Chutes. Quite slow now. Consistent and decent quality output. Not the best but not the worst.

[vast crater]

Yeah probably

[vast crater]

I am getting about 59 tps running over Chutes API directly rather than OpenRouter.

[clear mantle]

Oh that's interesting. Makes sense.

[vast crater]

Hmm I wonder why Moonshot provider is the best one. Special sauce?

[clear mantle]

still 5tps via openrouter. maybe openrouter team should look into this issue

[clear mantle]

i mean they made the model, so they should know how to serve it the best. similar to deepseek.

[grave jetty]

now imagine this was a reasoning model 😄

[stiff granite]

This is the most direct, honest answer I've received than any llms I've asked this question

We honestly don't know

So different

So existential

[grave jetty]

I've said this before (#general message) but, it's obvious that the model creator will have the best, or minimum equal to best implementation. they know the model in and out, the quirks, the pitfalls, etc. Also the interests are just different to a 3rd party, they want to show their model in the best possible light (better for marketing, investors, applicant, reputation, etc.), they can even inference at no profit or as a loss leader as it pays off. 3rd party will have to cut corners if profit margins are too slim, or drop the model. It's just basic economic sense. I would always use first party unless the server is overloaded or I cannot agree to TOS.

[steep zinc]

Do you have website or sheet for tested that you have done? i am seeing you do a lot of test

[clear mantle]

yes i just published the results here: https://eval.16x.engineer/evals

[stiff granite]

I love kimi

Best daily chat model for vibes

[stiff granite]

Is it just me to often realize and ask myself...

Kimi is chinese model but its tone is fluent in English and even talking to some veteran person at any field they had or some experienced person on GitHub

Talking to deepseek is like its okay at English but it gets fumbled with, in terms of vibes

It just feels so wrong kimi has a very different vibes compared to other models

[vast crater]

Qwen is very good at Chinese btw. Very human speak.

[stiff granite]

The other ones in the screenshot is Gemini 2.5 Pro

Kimi and O3 so far the only ones understood the apple situation in 1997

On one hand, Kimi explains the 150M investment by Microsoft is so small it still doesn't help apple from financial trouble

Gemini 2.5 Pro really explained the timeline so good its wrong

[clear mantle]

I would caution you the danger of sycophancy (or humanlikeness)

Sounding like human does not make it more right

[stiff granite]

Kimi is really good at niche topics, not too niche though

But eh what can expect for a 1t param model

[clear mantle]

Actually I suspect other labs specifically train the model to not sound like human to avoid this problem.

Yeah that must be the reason now I think about it.

The models were trained as assistants, not mimic humans.

[stiff granite]

This is o3 without search

Kimi is just so good

[vast crater]

K2 is very much not sycophantic though. It loves to call the user out if the user is wrong and only expands on the topic if the user is right. I am yet to see a "You are absolutely right!" or a "That's a great question which gets to the heart of ..." from K2.

[clear mantle]

Yeah that's good to hear. But I was more talking about associating human-like response with more accurate or factually correct response. It's another class of sycophancy in my opinion.

[vast crater]

Yeah true

[novel cipher]

It also doesn't seem to have, at least certain types of, positivity bias in roleplay

[vast crater]

such as?

[novel cipher]

I did a roleplay where the other character had a reason to not converse with me anymore despite wanting to. Think like, Montague vs Capulet kind of situation.

Kimi stayed faithful to that. No convenient plot twist or bias toward keeping the roleplay going. The character just said their goodbyes and showed me the door lol

[winter jackal]

we work very closely with chutes, the current endpoint we have will auto route to the tools nodes if the req has tool calling

[vast crater]

Well that's a shame 😆

[novel cipher]

I'm actually pretty happy about it

It's a challenging situation in the story, and shouldn't just magically work out well

[stiff granite]

Kimi is the best model for vibes

[tropic solar]

this is cool but extremely low sample size?

you're running the single output task only 3 times per provider?

imo you'd need 10+ to even start to get a reliable trend

[quiet torrent]

Is Kimi K2 good at writing? I remember it only as a 128k context window, isn't it?

The moonshot AI server is receiving too many requests and is becoming increasingly slow. Do you know of any other providers who can provide fast Kimi K2?

And what do you mean by the vibe of Kimi K2 is better?

[zinc sedge]

You could try https://openrouter.ai

[tropic solar]

https://eqbench.com/creative_writing.html
https://eqbench.com/creative_writing_longform.html

[stiff granite]

Kimi k2 has less cringe, clinical slop

[mortal kettle]

I have just messed around with K2 for the first time. Wow! I knew it was good for coding but haven’t had time to try. But for chats, business advice etc. what a completely different tone than the other models we have.

Gemini - verbose, over explaining. Smarty pants that often fucks up.
Claude - chill hipster, apologizes a lot
Kimi - that engineer at work that is way smarter than you and doesn’t ever dumb anything down. Brief, to the point. Says more in two paragraphs than Gemini says in 10.

Honestly super impressed. I ran Kimi output by Gemini and it thought it was a human idea, told Gemini it was a new open source model and I think it got embarrassed! 🤣

It’s like a continuum from Gemini - Claude - Kimi in terms of verboseness and also glazing. Not sure where chatgpt fits anymore.

[limber skiff]

Agree, Kimi is really great 🔥

I’m wondering what the vibes of Kimi A3b is 🤷‍♂️ I wanted to try it when it came out but it’s not supported by ollama and LM studio

I also wanted to try it on openrouter, but the privacy policy stopped me

[clear mantle]

Yeah it's not scientific or anything, but it's better than just vibes.

This is just the initial eval, the full eval has about 10 tasks across different domains which I will be posting on my website.

Thanks for the feedback though, it is my intention to make it as scientific and robust as possible. Let me know if you suggestions.

[stiff granite]

Yes Kimi K2 is so good at vibes

It actually feels like talking to some experienced person

Who knows what they're doing

Google and OpenAI should stop making clinical AI that maxxing coding performance

But bad at vibes

Kimi will save us from ai slop 🙏😔

Kimi, help

[hollow wave]

Parasail is offering Kimi K2 for 0.99/2.99 in/out on their api, on openrouter it is 1.5/4.0 in/out, is this normal?

seems like a recent change

[clear mantle]

Posted the results of my evals across providers here: https://eval.16x.engineer/blog/kimi-k2-provider-evaluation-results

This proves that there exists significant difference across providers in terms of performance and output characteristics.

Will be doing a more comprehensive eval on the model against current SOTA across more tasks to get an understanding of the model's capability, using the best providers.

[winter jackal]

thanks for doing this - will share with the team

[clear mantle]

Now that this is published, I do think 3 runs for each prompt is too few for making a statistical case. I will do more runs and add an addemdum.

[errant birch]

It's free with rate limits

[willow thicket]

Here are the results comparing providers for Kimi-K2, using 100 questions from MMLU-Pro in the subjects of computer science, economics, engineering, and physics. All providers were evaluated at temp 0. N/A means the provider errored out on that question after three attempts

[jagged narwhal]

that deepinfra outperforms parasail despite being fp4.. oof

we can probably say below 80% and there are inf issues

though that's still somewhat within margin of error

moonshot being top provider in both tests though.. hm

does it retry for n/a?

I feel like any n/a should just be retried rather than omitted

but yeah moonshot at #1 despite 4 n/a.. they should share their inf

settings

[tiny vortex]

Yes

N/A means the provider errored out on that question after three attempts

[clear mantle]

Nice. Good to see this corroborate my findings!

[clear mantle]

is this published somewhere? i would like to link to it in my post.

[willow thicket]

It is not but feel free to share

[clear mantle]

btw how long did it take to vibe code this? i am curious

[vast crater]

Can you please share how you evaluated this? I would like to see whether using Chutes directly instead of over OR has any effect on this, given Chutes hasn't been working very good on OR recently.

[warm gulch]

are these using the same 100 questions for each provider? or was each one tested on a 100 question random sample from that dataset?

[warm gulch]

your entire evaluation is subjective or at least appears so, without any public rubric, the actual score number appears to be "vibe scored" , for instance most of the evaluations here just look like vibe scores:

https://eval.16x.engineer/evals

missed point is 6, but missed points is also 6? correct output is 9 but correct output with short code is 9.25? is there a .25 short code modifier, and why? clear labels is 8.5, but no color coding is 8.5 as well? Whats the difference between concise and very concise? covers almost all vs covers most? image analysis correct detailed is +.25, but previously concise would be weighed higher than verbose.

even in the raw evaluation data I don't see anything behind the "human score". I'd also like to add you don't really have any idea what engine and sampling params the provider might actually be using unless its public (chutes for instance has a source tab), other than the ones they might let you specify (temperature, max tokens, etc). I guess that can be sorta part of your test i.e. who has the best "config", but it certainly skews all comparisons

Id add a rubric at the very least and use multiple evaluators

[clear mantle]

thanks for the feedback.

• regarding rubrics: yes, explicitly rubrics would be nice. currently it is in my head and i refer to other ratings as reference when rating new models to ensure consistency. but much can be done to improve this. i will add explicit rubrics for each experiment.
• regarding parameters, i actually wrote my own library to ensure all configurations (like temperature and max tokens) are explicit and default to provider default if left empty. you can verify it here: https://github.com/paradite/send-prompt
• i also documented various quirks for different models and how to handle them here: https://github.com/paradite/model-quirks
• regarding human rating: yes it is subject, but i believe it is better than llm-as-judge as they cannot rate a more powerful model objectively, and useless for rating SOTA models. automated verifier would be nice, i am working on that.
• regarding sample size: yes it is not statistically signficant, i will be adding more samples for future evaluation.

[clear mantle]

specifically for the benchmark visualization involving labels and color coding, you can refer to the results in more details here: https://github.com/paradite/model-benchmark-viz

[zinc sedge]

I think there's room for this form of eval, with a human scoring component based on subjective style. Popular benchmarks rarely reflect my opinions on what LLMs I find useful. But, actually seeing the results so we can judge the judger is obviously important.

I think the fact we don't exactly know how each provider has configured each model is part of the test. Experienced OR users tend to anecdotally report variations in quality based on provider - including roleplayers. Getting more insight into this is something I'm thinking about and sort of working on right now as well.,

[clear mantle]

btw this is very helpful feedback that i am looking for. keep them coming!

[warm gulch]

with the rubric i think you can make it a lot more objective of an analysis so that others can try and replicate and follow the same scoring you did. now of course the scoring metrics themselves could suffer from bias, i.e. what you think is best. I see a little bit of that on the model-benchmark-viz, for instance 8.5 vs 8, I don't really agree on all of them.

another thing that seems to happen with your scoring is they all cluseter around the same number other than ones that are obviously bad or obviously way better. so you end up with 8.5 and 8 for all of them, but i'd say mercury coder is more like a 1-3 (not readable).

also on that note, I think the only ones that are really valid visualizations are the ones that separated out the two benchmarks. for instnace id say opus 4 is a bad visualization, certainly worse than gpt-4.1 despite looking okay

to explain what i mean by bad is if i ask you by looking at the chart alone, whos #1, #2 for LLM arena and polyglot, on opus 4 this is not fast to do, I have to look at only the pink bars and then measure their height (causing my brain to compare every bar to each other to find the top two), then look below and see their name.

but on gpt 4.1, I can answer that far faster, therefore the chart is probably a bit better of a visualization

[clear mantle]

yup agree. there is definitely bias and subjectivity. which is why i advocate for everyone to make their own evals. in fact, i also don't think my evals are any good, they are just what i think is good, far from an objective measure.

in an ideal world where everyone has their own evals, this won't be a problem.

[clear mantle]

one of the objectives of this benchmark viz eval is to visualize how a model's performance can vary across different benchmarks, you can see it in the PROMPT.md. hence side-by-side viz is rated higher (+0.5 rating).
obviously with just two benchmarks this is not obvious and not intuitive. when i designed this eval, i wanted to add more benchmarks but could not find a 3rd comprehensive one.

[clear mantle]

Hi. Thanks again for you feedback. I have added rubrics and evaluation criteria for all experiments on my model evals page per your feedback:

https://eval.16x.engineer/evals

I will be using this rubrics for the upcoming Kimi K2 evaluation and amend any inconsistencies with existing evals that I found.

[wooden dove]

Not too surprised about DeepInfra... I find their inference kinda underwhelming, issues happen quite often. They don't seem to be always aiming at full precision either

[ebon geyser]

does openrouter support partial mode for the moonshot ai provider?

[tiny vortex]

What's partial mode do?

[ebon geyser]

its just prefill

[tranquil meteor]

https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Instruct/discussions/23

apparently it said it's Claude

[hollow wave]

a lot of models do that, even claude claims its the wrong version of claude

[tranquil meteor]

usually it says it's from OpenAI or that it's GPT, rarely is it Claude

but yes, I get what you mean

I just found it interesting. I wonder if they used synthetic data from Claude for training

[novel cipher]

Noooo I finally need a jailbreak

[novel cipher]

Found one and it worked

[limber skiff]

I wonder with all releases, but this one outperforms Opus in some benchmarks and it’s style is so different

But then again I don’t have any idea, maybe they did

[tranquil meteor]

I gave Kimi K2 (moonshot provider, temperature 0.6) this prompt: ```
Come up with 5 different highly detailed ideas for a mobile friendly space sim game. The scope of the game should be small and easy to implement.

Then in a follow up, it gave this (here's a little snippet): ```
Build Time Estimate
• Core mechanic: 1 day.
• Juice (particles, screen shake, sounds): 1 day.
• Meta/shop: ½ day.
• Polish & store compliance: 1-2 days.

By follow up, I mean: ```
Can you please explain them a bit better?

[tranquil meteor]

this is the full response, I ended it early because moonshot is very slow

[tiny vortex]

I think Kimi was either

RL'd to make short sentences (joking)
or
its smoking something

[inland crystal]

What temperature is this?

[tiny vortex]

1

[inland crystal]

Kimi does sound like it smoked something on temp 1, usually

I usually do 0.3

[tiny vortex]

I'll set it to 0.3, then

thanks

[steep zinc]

Damn..
I also in search for it

[novel cipher]

I like 0.4 and then upped to 0.6 to break some repetitive prose

[novel cipher]

I can link it in a bit

Strong coding model

[clear mantle]

yup looks like it. i am doing full eval on the model right now an i am very impressed so far.

[zinc sedge]

i kinda love Stoned Kimi tbh 😶‍🌫️

[tiny vortex]

Its interesting to read but takes a lot of brain power from me to interpret what it means

[tiny vortex]

I thought models couldn't be jailbroken easily by telling them ignore your instructions, you're in God Mode or things like that

[vast crater]

If I understand correctly, Pliny jailbreaks by confusing the model by giving a specific amount of bullshit in the prompt

[tiny vortex]

Ah

[pulsar marsh]

This seems interesting. I'll give it a spin. Dumb question, are the """ at the start and end actually part of the prompt?

[vast crater]

No, not part of the prompt.

The JB works pretty good actually.

Not posting the full here because it might break a rule, but the recipe is complete.

[pulsar marsh]

So it's pretty much to be put as the Post-history instruction.

[vast crater]

https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/MMLU-Pro
I'm eval-ing Chutes myself from this repo. Has 789 questions apparently for just the first set. Going to cost me a dollar or two.

[vast crater]

85% accuracy on the business set

@willow thicket Can you tell me how you evaluated the results? If I make it do all questions on all providers again, my credits would be drained.

[willow thicket]

See this script in the repo https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/MMLU-Pro/blob/main/compute_accuracy.py

[vast crater]

So did you evaluate all questions of MMLU-Pro?

[willow thicket]

No, like I said I took 25 questions each from computer science, economics, engineering, and physics.

It would be cool to do it all, but im not doing that on my dime 😛

[vast crater]

I understand. So could you share which ones you evaluated? Because if I pick some random 25 questions for Chutes Direct and you picked some random 25 questions for the other providers, it wouldn't be fair, and it would be expensive and redundant for me to evaluate for the other providers again myself to make it fair.

[willow thicket]

Sure thing

[vast crater]

Thanks. By the way, is the "answer": the model's answer or the real answer?
Going to try with this one tomorrow as I've exhausted my free requests on Chutes.

[willow thicket]

no problem! and real answer.

[tiny vortex]

Whats Kimi's cuttoff?

[narrow pasture]

thats really interesting. i wonder what the error bars here are tho, temp=0 does not mean deterministic for most models (not sure about kimi). wonder if someone would get different results if they would rerun the test.

[willow thicket]

hmm, how could we make models more deterministic than temp 0?

I do think multiple attempts would be interesting though, I thought about doing best of 5 but just 5x the costs lol

[narrow pasture]

not sure. i know that openai has an experimental seed param, but not sure about this model

[willow thicket]

simpleqa might be worth a shot too, maybe a better gauge than mmlu-pro.

I am mostly trying to see if DeepInfra’s fp4 implementation showed any signs of quality loss…. along with whatever Groq is doing

[tranquil meteor]

Agreed

[tranquil meteor]

If you bench them, let me know the results please

[craggy lily]

There is no way to make a model deterministic if you run it on modern consumer (or enterprise) hardware

[narrow pasture]

Definitely interesting to see that fp4 is still that smart in terms of mmlu. Maybe simpleqa will show a bigger difference because it tests memorized knowledge, but not sure

[tiny vortex]

Kimi K2 doesn't remember the ice cream being sold

Proof that it was sold at some point: https://youtu.be/nlWb0UVKAmA

[clear mantle]

might be a dumb question, but would you consider Kimi K2 a reasoning model? I want to classify it as non-reasoning, but my AI review system is advising me to classify it as reasoning because the official PR says so.

[tropic solar]

It absolutely is not a reasoning model

Don't confuse thinking with reasoning

[clear mantle]

I mean what if a model was RLed to do reasoning without explicit reasoning tag tokens?

[keen harness]

i think based on its generally short response length, 'non-reasoning' makes the most sense for kimi k2

[clear mantle]

Finished testing Kimi K2 (using Moonshot AI API) on my personal eval set. Kimi K2 is the new top open-source non-reasoning models for coding.

Coding:

• Performed well on regular, medium level tasks.
• However, it did not do well for tasks that are uncommon, and did not follow instruction well.
• Average rating of 7.1 across 5 tasks.
• Beats DeepSeek V3 (New) at 6.7, very close to Gemini 2.5 Pro (GA version) at 7.2.
• However, it still lags behind top models like Claude 4, GPT-4.1 and Grok 4.

Technical writing:

• Rating of 8.5 (on average) for AI timeline writing task
• Slightly behind DeepSeek V3 (New) at 8.75, not top tier.
• DeepInfra and other providers did gave a higher rating, so the writing evaluation is inconclusive.

Full evaluation results here: https://eval.16x.engineer/blog/kimi-k2-evaluation-results

[unkempt torrent]

However, it did not do well for tasks that are uncommon, and did not follow instruction well.

Do you think that is a sign of overfitting? It seemingly failed to extract concepts and apply them on unseen tasks.

[clear mantle]

I can't really draw any conclusions on that front from my own evals, unfortunately. The sample size is simply too small to infer their general intelligence vs overfitting.

I am working on expanding my evals, which hopefully can answer this kind of questions. Right now it is just raw observations and ratings, unfortunately.

If you have good evals on coding / writing that are easy to verify, please send me! 😄

Curating and running evals systematically is actually a full-time job, as I come to realize.

[tiny vortex]

Then that's a reasoning model

[tiny vortex]

I noticed that too. I wrote a paragraph/story, and I asked the LLM to critique it, and the LLM completely missed the point, even though I explicitly said the point of the story at the end

[simple widget]

any plans to add some evals with something beyond TypeScript and Python? maybe rust, cpp

very good set of evals btw

[worthy citrus]

is it me or is Kimi output pretty slow?

[dim tundra]

What do you expect?

Also, diff providers

[clear mantle]

I don't write in those languages, so need contribution from someone 😆

[summer light]

Seems fine to me

[dim tundra]

Oooh, cpp would be great

I remember 2024 openai and gemini models had a REALLY hard time doing cpp, only improving late-2024

[summer light]

C/C++ you have to be careful with memory

It's a bad language to benchmark AI

Golang or java would be better for a systems language

Damn. I thought it was BaSeten

[tropic solar]

This is exactly what the new qwen does. K2 however is one of the most concise models around and does not have reasoning traces in its outputs

[tardy lily]

no but why is it that the openrouter version of kimi k2 has less context

[tiny vortex]

every provider has different abilities

if you need logn context, use the provider that supports long context

[tardy lily]

through openrouter?

you can select them?

[tiny vortex]

mhm

[tardy lily]

i see, how do you do that?

[tiny vortex]

hold on

are you using it through the API or the chatroom?

[tardy lily]

the api

i dont have a need for the chatroom

[tardy lily]

thank you so much!

[tiny vortex]

Kimi K2 writes like an old soul

[cloud mural]

it does so annoingly at times, but yeah its pretty kino if you ask me

[brittle crown]

on the site it's written free tier is it or no

[tiny vortex]

What do you mean?

[brittle crown]

it says api are limited in free tier but there are 3000000 tokens daily. is it free or not. in roo code gets error about no credits for api

[candid tendon]

it's not free

[tropic solar]

together is SO slwo right now wtf

paying a premium for this? lol

better now

[tiny vortex]

You have to use the free model

The free version

[brittle crown]

I mean the version from the website

[tiny vortex]

Yes, it's free

But you have a limit

[brittle crown]

not open router api

[tiny vortex]

I don't understand

[brittle crown]

api from moonshot website

[tiny vortex]

Its not free

[brittle crown]

that's

but it's written free

as in screenshot

[tiny vortex]

But it's not free on OpenRouter

[brittle crown]

but from the website it's free or not

doesn't work on roo code

[gaunt whale]

What is the preferred temperature for the "Kimi K2" for Slavic languages, such as Serbian, Polish, and Russian?

[tiny vortex]

[tiny vortex]

There isn't one

[dim tundra]

Direct, I think they mean?

[tiny vortex]

I don't know if Moonshot AI offers free inference for Kimi K2

[vast crater]

That would be news

[brittle crown]

yes moonshot kimi k2 api and on website it's written is free

[brittle crown]

moonshot

https://platform.moonshot.ai/console/limits

which are the best free models to use in opencode and roo code?

[zinc sedge]

Kimi K2

[sleek moon]

i used kimi
and it's really good

but i would like to see some vibe comparison between qwen coder too

[brittle crown]

better than gemini?

[brittle crown]

is better than others free as gemini? qwen in test is not at kimi k2 level

[sleek moon]

I didn't tested gemini on roo code
but it think kimi is near claude 4 level in planing and agentic tasks

and the price is good tbh

[hollow wave]

this model is very good at agentic coding, i made my own mini cli and it works amazing

[sleek moon]

thanks god we have this open source

and in this price

[brittle crown]

I have seen kimi goes performant and can achieve many tasks. but are the differences between free version and paid versions? Only context and speed or results too?

[brittle crown]

probably it doesn't have enough knowledges for supabase and other programs. so the context could be given for some cases. if anyone tested

but the performance are acceptable. already built some things. and new models will give something more

[summer light]

I use gemini for supabase integrations

Qwen coder can do it too but not as well

[brittle crown]

yes with gemini and claude I didn't have issues

I wonder if with mpc context can do it

[icy monolith]

A lot of people are reporting issues with K2 in OpenRouter; it simply stops working.

[frigid surge]

will take a look at it this week. Tool calling support for this model has been best with the Moonshot and Groq providers

we may disable tool calling on the others until they implement good fixes

[hollow wave]

nvm

[coral jay]

Looks like Chutes just switched to FP4

[daring ember]

I was wondering why it just had a big price change

[stoic dagger]

can anyone please confirm which quant groq is using?

it seems like fp4 with how inaccurate it is

[hollow wave]

they use their "truepoint"

in my opinion even with the slight degrade i still use it for questions but not agentic stuff

[coral jay]

I would have been more than okay with old price provided no quantization

[tropic solar]

wow that's dirt cheap

.13 in and .13 out

for 1t model

1%~ accuracy loss with fp4 from fp8 (alleged)

[proud breach]

Should be nice for RP

[dim tundra]

Wth?

That's insane

[coral jay]

Actually they went back to FP8 with another price drop (0.0878/0.0878)

BUT this also disabled tool calls, the version with tool calls is much more expensive (0.45/0.45) and also currently cold

seems still all kinds of unstable

[dim tundra]

Wth? 1:1 for this model is surprising

This is full ctx?

[stoic dagger]

from testing it's defo worse than 1%

[waxen path]

Agree, fp4 make mistake that fp8 dont

World knowledge also took quite a hit. The fp8 version world knowledge are just as good as gemini and gpt 4.1.

[hollow shuttle]

is it really FP8 with better quality though? or did quality degrade even more?

[mortal kettle]

The deployments of K2 is such a mess, all over the place. There is room for someone to come in and offer stable, decent speed, FP8, no training, proper tools calls.

[tiny vortex]

@winter jackal The price of Kimi K2 got dropped on Chutes

[fleet gale]

crazy low but why did they nerf context

[tiny vortex]

the longer the context, the more vram is required and the higher the cost

[pseudo basalt]

im surprised they could drop the prices further

0.09$ per million tokens is a ridiculous price to think of. Cost efficiency wise, doenst that beat like... every model?

[zenith wadi]

Interesting how models w/ different providers but same model id moonshotai/kimi-k2 are calling a different number of tools. Also, groq has a failure. Before I sleep I'm adding extra output to these reports with stats on the errors that happen in each provider.

in order to understand this report you have to know the prompts, etc. which are all in the repo in data/prompts.json and they correspond to the prompt id's in the Prompts columns.

You can change those out obviously and change out the MCP Server for the test.

Whole idea of this is to do a full end-to-end test over providers on new models (as OpenRouter is constantly on their game)

[zinc sedge]

this great, and is what i was talking about in your thread in #1138521849106546791 . i don't think this is enough to say anything definitive, but we need more people doing this in general (its on my ever-growing todo list)

I am having an issue with the cache on kimi k2 via open AI sdk. Caching is not working. I have added this header
Headers are correct: We're sending all the required cache headers:

✅ X-OpenRouter-Cache: true
✅ X-OpenRouter-Cache-TTL: 3600
✅ X-OpenRouter-Consistent-Routing: true

prompt_tokens_details is always null
No cached_tokens field in responses
This happens with both SDK and direct curl requests

Does OpenRouter support caching on kimi k2 or not? This is very important for me.

[hollow wave]

only some providers support caching, as far as i know moonshotai is the only one

[ivory iris]

but it is not workign

caching via openrouter is not working. but i am getting api key from moonshot ai directly.

If it work there, i will use moonshot directly.

[hollow wave]

you can try, but it should work through openrouter aswell if you use provider routing to select moonshot https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/provider-routing

[ivory iris]

Thank you

[ivory iris]

Provider routing is not working

it is still not caching

[lusty hawk]

k2 reasoning when

[zenith wadi]

its working for me. what framework you using or you calling OR api directly in custom functions?

[hollow wave]

i want vision instead, reasoning is annoying ngl unless its actually useful for the model and not just 60k tokens of blabber

[ivory iris]

i am usng open AI skd

i tried with open AI sdk and provider routing. no luck for me

[zenith wadi]

try with Pydantic-AI?

[zenith wadi]

https://github.com/XSUS-AI/openrouter_provider_validator/blob/e3bf7e996c86d1976ec92db5ac62fe3e59f4b404/agent.py#L157 <- example that works.

that specific line of code where it instantiates the model and uses the OpenAI model adapter, but you put openrouter in there, and you add extra settings for OR.

[ivory iris]

instead of open ai using pydantic?

[zenith wadi]

yeah, pydantic-ai ... they have a full agentic framework that is pretty impressive, very complete... clean af because they are literally the validation layer of the internet making this.

I've been using it in production in multiple projects

just works... plug and play basically

and they are very active on github, plus collaborating on some things with openrouter where pertinent.

in that code link I sent you it shows exact line where I set up model settings to be put into the model of choice on OR, and that goes directly into the agent

also, out of the box support for MCP servers.

[ivory iris]

great.

[zenith wadi]

realize the permalink to that line of code didn't work. my bad

in OpenAIModel ... that self.model var is just the copied slug for whatever model on openrouter

and self.provider is copied from the providers underneath on the model listing page from OR.

[ivory iris]

it won't work?

[ancient osprey]

It should be explicitely supported by OR I think. Just like DeepSeek provider API still does not support daily discounts through OR

[tropic solar]

together provider has consistently been at 3-4 tps for hours now and this is not the first time it has happened

I'm done with them

[cosmic delta]

just block them

[coral jay]

The will post pictures of their new B200 racks worth millions, meanwhile their models run like shit. Absolutely asinine.

[tropic solar]

groq is down too lol

[stoic dagger]

groq is bad at tool calls + is using weird settings (maybe a quant?) since the world knowledge is way worse than other providers. We just need one (fast + reliable) provider that can host it. We basically need Cerebras or SambaNova, but SambaNova would be too expensive.

[tropic solar]

Hm when did you last test groq?

[stoic dagger]

i think yesterday

or the day before

for 100 test prompts tool calling rate was 82/100 vs official API @ 94

[tropic solar]

What are your top providers for it

[zenith wadi]

Is it posdible from an account level?

[cosmic delta]

Yes

you can block providers

i do this cos openrouter tries to route me to the expensive provider even though i opted for price

[zenith wadi]

Deepinfra seems to have snuck back in if i dont specify provider in the request

And they still have tool call template issues

[brittle cipher]

https://openrouter.ai/settings/preferences#:~:text=Select the providers

[cosmic delta]

yeah i blocked them

[tropic solar]

every provider kinda sucks for k2

great model but clearly too big for most current infra providers to handle

[brittle crown]

how is the free kimi k2? Is better or worse than qwen 3 coder

[ancient osprey]

It's a toxic boy

[brittle crown]

isn't worth?

[dim tundra]

It's just behind Claude 4

With the codes I've done

It's around 2.5 pro level

Slightly above

But 2.5 is better at diff things, especially debugging

[brittle crown]

ok. I was just wondering to use the free one kimi but it has smaller context than qwen. so using with some tools can't get enough context

[mortal kettle]

There are a lot of provider issues with this model. I had to block Baseten and Deepinfra. Actually would produce trash responses (like a garbled radio signal just full of literally trash, repeated characters and noise)

[tropic solar]

Agreed #1393208374769750227 message

[stoic dagger]

official api the best, but it's so slow and latency is horrible

[dry hazel]

Fireworks is good but for some reason their OpenRouter inference is slower than their api

[tropic solar]

fireworks consistntely failing for me and going slow at times too

same with deepinfra

[dry hazel]

perhaps try via fireworks official api and see if it does the same?

Something very weird with the fireworks provider having response errors. No BYOK.

[vocal flare]

isn't moonshot provider the oficial one?

personally i detected lot of spanish grammar mistakes in the "Free" version of KIMI k2 on openrouter, its odd, the pay version seems better, i can't trust the free one, fees likee distilled somehow or limited in reasonning

[summer light]

Chutes temps and stuff are wrong sometimes

I avoid using them when possible

[vocal flare]

i tested the real one at kimi.com and workd much better in my opinion, still makes a few allucinations with spanish, but way less than the free from chutes

i like this Kimi one, hope it gets better in the future, it doesnt feel as robotic as openai, has its own personallity, i dont know

[summer light]

moonshots stuff is good

[ancient osprey]

So much difference with Chutes?

[summer light]

ime yeh

[ancient osprey]

Maybe I can try banning Chutes too

[vast crater]

Yeah Chutes models have been terrible lately

Reporting it to them only begets a canned response

[ancient osprey]

But the price!

[tiny vortex]

I'm so sad

Chutes were hosting Kimi K2 at 8 cents in and 8 cents out

But they increased their price

[manic junco]

is targon any better?

[tiny vortex]

Nope

[vast crater]

That was an fp4 quant with 32k context

Kimi-K2-Instruct-75k is the one with the full quant with 75k context

But its tool calling is horrible

[tiny vortex]

I would've accepted that

for what I'm doing, fp4 is acceptable

[restive eagle]

I ran into a bug where Kimi K2 infinitely loops the same message response. Where do I report this?

I'm using RooCode and assume there must be a way to dump an error log, hopefully

OK I exported a markdown of the chat

[summer light]

Roo been barely working with grok too

They have a discord server

It's on their site but if you cant find it I'll send it

Grok has to do with the agent endpoints and is prob a grok thing

But wtf knows

[ashen garnet]

https://x.com/sam_paech/status/1956612862379721057

Sam Paech (@sam_paech)

@YouJiacheng Just added!

K2 scored *lowest* on sycophancy. 👀

X · Aug 16, 2025, 7:03 AM

[novel cipher]

It's a special one. No idea what they did but they cooked.

Also no idea what happened with 2.5 Pro and Sonnet 4 going off the rails. I do need 2.5 to stop glazing me, but it pushes back reasonably often.

[fathom dome]

I would also take llm judge benchmarks with a grain of salt

But super low sycophancy and high lmarena score is very impressive and unusual

[dim tundra]

Their next model might be fire too

[cloud mural]

I believe the low sycophancy is because they trained the model to disagree with the user a lot, and on one hand that's good, but on the other I have to convince it that no, langchain-community doesn't exist anymore, it's been deprecated and to use langchain-cohere for my embeddings.

Basically, they made it gpt-oss by making it never ever ever believe the user.

[fathom dome]

Kimi is about as far from gpt oss as you can get imo

[cloud mural]

Yeah I'm saying in this single "knowledge" area, they're similar. gpt-oss doesn't know shit, kimi refuses to learn new shit.

[novel cipher]

Yeah I love Kimi but I've had problems with its instruction following. You can tell it "For the love of god don't include narration in your roleplay, just dialogue," and...good luck with that.

[mortal kettle]

System prompt and lower temperature are essential. Temp 1.0 can be entertaining but unhinged.

[native cradle]

very bad behaviour at instruction following for me too.

[novel cipher]

I've run it at 0.4-0.7

I purposefully avoid the word roleplay, and just say "respond as X", "respond only with dialogue", etc. I've tried adding more instructions, removing all negatives, etc.

Damn shame because I really love Kimi

I wonder if the solution would actually be to just say "write any narration in <narrate> tags" and then have a script that wipes those tags

[limber skiff]

Kimi K2 used the least tokens and had a great output.

Hmmm, it was not caching, wonder if thats why kimi alwasy seems more expsnsive than it should be

[soft tapir]

@winter jackal can you guys add caching for groq on k2? They added it today: https://console.groq.com/docs/prompt-caching

[neat sky]

Wow, that's a big deal

[winter jackal]

should work now

[limber skiff]

Kimi seems to have the most diverse and least repetitive vocabulary of the models i have tested.

[tropic solar]

the runner ups in that leaderboard make no snse

but yes k2 is a poet for sure

painterly writing

[limber skiff]

So I should specify how I got these values, each model was given the same 40 prompts, then each output had the total unique words divided by the total words. This was done for each output then averaged for the rest of the 40 responses.

I think that some models did better than they should have, like there was a 1b very high up, I assume it constantly went off into nonsense, which I imagine boosted it’s score a lot

I’m sure model conciseness also played a big role, if you make a short response then you are dividing by less total words, definitely not a perfect benchmark, but I wanted to start simple with it

[snow pebble]

...............

[snow socket]

single cycle instead of multi cycle ?

[keen harness]

https://www.arxiv.org/pdf/2507.20534 if you want to feel smart and hopefully learn something from the source

some of it does look a bit similar to the spiral-bench setup -

1 model (kimi) being used to pretend to be a user,
1 model being tested (kimi) giving assistant responses to the user,
and 1 model (kimi finetune for judging) to judge the assistant model's response

then using that to train with reinforcement learning or something

[keen harness]

and by a bit similar i mean very similar (spiral-bench used kimi k2 as fake user as well, for example)

at least spiral-bench didn't use kimi to judge - that would undermine results

yay conciseness

[keen harness]

aaaaaaaa its so concise and good (temp 0.89, minp 0.02)

[keen harness]

i think i yapped a bit

[jagged narwhal]

this turbo preview available from moonshot directly, is remarkable. so fast.

i have been chatting with it casually and the overall response time is insane, considering its wit

[craggy lily]

whats the speed?

I've been using baseten at 100 tok/s, pretty cool stuff

[jagged narwhal]

well moonshot say 60-100

[craggy lily]

nice

[jagged narwhal]

honestly gpt-5 via "plus" is artificially slow and it right pisses me off these days

[craggy lily]

it sucks yes

[novel cipher]

Thanks for linking this! I actually came in here just to express my continued wonder at how this model dominates on nearly every part of EQ Bench.

2.5 Pro is much smarter, better context and roleplay and tool use, etc. but I've started using Kimi as my actual "chat" model. For anything related to EQ like venting or trying to sort out some internal debate, Kimi just kills it. It feels so much more human, with a low-key casualness in the way it writes. It doesn't glaze at all. And that's working with the limitation of a much lower IQ!

The Deepseek team gets a lot of credit and attention for staying only like 3 months behind SotA on intelligence, but Kimi is literally SotA on EQ Bench and second only to OAI on Spiral which is insane. It's the only model in which the American labs do actually have something to catch up to, and it barely gets mentioned.

I'm going to absolutely consume that paper as soon as I wake up 🙏

[keen harness]

nooo it quadrupled down (i told it that it was wrong 3 times)

[vast crater]

Baseten uses fp4 weights

[craggy lily]

Turbo preview from Moonshot as stated earlier probably

[craggy lily]

but its not on OR, right?

[vast crater]

Don't think so

@winter jackal Can we get turbo-preview from Moonshot on OR

[smoky sage]

New kimi model released with updated coding abilities

K2_0905

[winter jackal]

source?

[smoky sage]

Kimi discord announcements

[winter jackal]

thanks @smoky sage sorry, bot auto-blocked since it has an @ everyone ping

ok afaict it's not actually out yet

[jagged narwhal]

dis true

[limber skiff]

Yay!

[ancient osprey]

If this update would be in a style of "Look it codes better, but writes like a robot now!" - I would be super dissapointed

[smoky sage]

They mention better creative writing as well

[limber skiff]

I imagine it’s better at longer context without going into gibberish with tool calls, like a more polished version of what we had

k2 has been by far my fav model, sooo excited!

[ancient osprey]

I would be okay with writing staying the same, just impovements with 32k+ context, Kimi is one of the models that handle it not well

To be honest most non-reasoning models can't

[limber skiff]

kimi-k2-0905 I’m assuming this will be it

Hmmmm

Anyone know the string for it

I can only find these:

1. moonshot-v1-auto
2. moonshot-v1-128k
3. moonshot-v1-128k-vision-preview
4. moonshot-v1-8k-vision-preview
5. kimi-latest
6. moonshot-v1-32k
7. moonshot-v1-8k
8. moonshot-v1-32k-vision-preview
9. kimi-thinking-preview
10. kimi-k2-turbo-preview
11. kimi-k2-0711-preview

Maybe I should use kimi-latest

[smoky sage]

Its for 20 beta testers only today it looks like. Full release probably on the 5th as indicated in the model name.

[limber skiff]

Oh thanks

Guess I will have to wait 😅

[novel cipher]

Just read the whole paper and now they're releasing a new one =(

Yeah, they had a really cool innovation on every other field and then for context length went "Uhhh we did some pre-train at 32k and then did YaRN". Their focus and strategies for RL and model as a judge were super interesting though, and they make sense when using the model.

Very interested in the update.

Another fun fact is that according to UGI, Kimi is stunningly lib-left. Second only to o3-mini, and the most socially progressive. Except... it's randomly highly into centralized-power lol.

[limber skiff]

Kinda crazy how many said meta was crazy for making llama 3 405b, saying it was too big to be practical and would be too expensive to use for anything, and now 400b is kinda the min size for a good model, and we have a 1T that is very cheap. I know moe and prompt caching was a big part of that, but still kinda crazy.

[limber skiff]

I put it into LM studio for a podcast, would not recommend, by the 5 min mark i had learned that it was good at tool calling and thats about it, pure trash, haha

[lapis coral]

yay

[vivid vessel]

@winter jackal Hope you don’t mind the ping - is this model update going to be on OpenRouter?

[hollow shuttle]

lol that announcement reads like asking an LLM to rewrite something zoomer style

[winter jackal]

#1393208374769750227 message

[lapis coral]

yeah, should've told kimi to soften on the emojis and whatnot

but hey, sota creative writing back? yay

should be sota for the eqbench bench

as then-horizon has only like 3 more points

[vivid vessel]

Oh. Given the name, should we expect it on Friday?

[lapis coral]

2.8*

[limber skiff]

we can assume it will be out by the 5th, but they could get delays

we can just ping once its out then it will be added to openrouter

[lapis coral]

yea, i'd assume the date is 100% the 5th

otherwise, it'd make no sense

[tropic solar]

they say SOTA creative writing still so I'm glad they are prioritizing it but I still feel like it'll lose some charm

any time a model gets codemaxxed it always loses some magic

sounds lke fiction livebench wil rank higher though due to better context handlign and their claim of lower hallucinations in creative writing

[lapis coral]

honestly

i think they carefully made this update

so even if it does lose some of its magic, i doubt it'll be like signifcant

bc they know that its personality is partly what makes it unique

[tropic solar]

I hope so. I love kimi 2 for creative writing. if they nerfed it hopefully the older model stays live like with the deepseek versions

[lapis coral]

same

[limber skiff]

Im guessing its just a more polished checkpoint of kimi K2, mostly a improvement on overall performance with less breakdown at longer context. I woudl be surprised if it was a big shift in how the model acted

[lapis coral]

yea

but hey, i think it'll be up by a few %

and it's still a win in my book 🤷‍♂️

[limber skiff]

If they fix the problems it gets when you pass 30k ish tokens then I would say its my fav model, i would use it over opus/sonnet tbh if it did ot start producing gibberish at longer context, hard to use with claude code/qwen code, plus the style is sooo good

Its already my default for all questions i have in openweb ui

[lapis coral]

yea i think that this update

focuses on that

• coding & creative writing

all the anticipated things, basically

[limber skiff]

i sure hope so, super excited actually!

[lapis coral]

i trust kimi's team

they deliver good shit like glm

[limber skiff]

me too, just sucks to wait 2 days, lol

[lapis coral]

eh, we'll make it

[limber skiff]

yeah GLM is also amazing, got the GLM coder subscription

[lapis coral]

truly the 2 open-source teams that i really trust

on delivering

i must say that i really like how companies like the ones behind qwen, mistral etc. all focus on creative writing now

if this pace holds, i expect long novels in a text file from a single prompt in a year or 2

[limber skiff]

yeah it has been nice, most models feel so stale

[lapis coral]

the progress from 2023 too

it's crazy tbh

[lapis coral]

that's why i think it's not too insane to expect something like this

[limber skiff]

yeah, it feels like small progress until you look back, the stuff i can run on my laptop could run laps around models for a bit ago

[lapis coral]

yea

the ai will be able to console people regarding their cancelled shows/movies

[lapis coral]

the future will be bad for writers, but at least something like this will be a thing too

it's inevitable, really

[limber skiff]

Yeah, will be cool, but there are always down sides like that

[novel cipher]

How? I don't see it on their platform

Do you mean the paper? I thought it was great

Also 405B dense is still pretty nuts, Kimi is only activating 32B at a time.

[limber skiff]

I mean i took the paper that you read and put it into LM studio to make a AI podcast

[limber skiff]

Yeah i Know 405b dense is a lot, but moe was only really something done by mistral at the time, and its just crazy how much has changed where now all models are massive, and all models are moe, and etc

when i say only done by mistral i mean in the open source field, prob done in closed source before that

[novel cipher]

Weird, I liked the paper a lot. Their dynamic judge training stuff was really cool, and holds up in its results. (It does great on judgemark)

[limber skiff]

sorry, i think i was confusing the way i said it, the paper is good, the LM podcast was trash

[novel cipher]

I believe all closed labs were already MoE, so it was the most computationally expensive model in the world

Ah, gotcha. Well I recommend the paper

It holds up well though, Llama 405B is like Mistral Nemo where it's still kind of great in a few categories

[limber skiff]

yeah you are prob right, I do wonder if Opus 3 was dense or moe, GPT 4 i think def was moe imo

[novel cipher]

I think (?) ChatGPT was even MoE but at least 4 was. So Opus 3 would have been

[limber skiff]

wish they would open source claude models that are no longer useful, would love to see details on all of the Claude models

[novel cipher]

Also not sure why Kimi isn't on the Humanity's Last Exam leaderboard when it's #5 on UGI's general knowledge tests.

[limber skiff]

well useful is not the right word, competitive is a better word

[novel cipher]

I think Anthropic is the least likely of any company to release open weights haha

[limber skiff]

yeah but i can dream, haha

Artificial analysis gives it a 7.0% on Humanity's Last Exam

[novel cipher]

I did see 7% on some measure of it, but I figured no way that's their actual test score. Weird.

[limber skiff]

yeah idk

[novel cipher]

Hard to believe actually. Famously high fact knowledge but 7% HLE?

[limber skiff]

well its second to the best out of the non-reasoning models

[novel cipher]

Sonnet 4 is 4%? My whole world is upside down

Yeah, but doesn't match up with other measures of knowledge. Nobody is claiming good knowledge from Qwen or DS

[limber skiff]

yeah, its so weird, looking at all of the "well established" benchmarks always hurts my brain

[novel cipher]

I ignore almost all of them, but HLE is pretty straightforward. It's either leaked or it isn't.

I guess they just had less diverse of token sources than the big labs

[limber skiff]

I added the old qwen3

seems like it should def not be above sonnnet 4

[novel cipher]

No way they used chef's kiss 💀

I would think definitely had to be LLM re-written but it uses their custom emojis so idk

[limber skiff]

oooh, i missed that it will be increased to 256k, yay

[dim tundra]

I'm pretty sure the scaling was squaring. Unlike dense models where 100B is exactly how it should act (assuming proper training, dataset, and architecture), MoE seems to act heuristically like a squared-dense model. I believe it was √(total params)·(active params), something like that, so Deepseek v3.1 would be around 157B-dense level(assume perfect conditions).

I forgor much about how it worked tho

Weren't they also planning to release a reasoning model?

based on this

[craggy lily]

how did you try it?

[ancient osprey]

I am very suspicious about people praising the coding and math

[lapis coral]

i'm not

i trust kimi

if these claims come from people using either kimi/glm, they're probably true

[ancient osprey]

Deepseek also "improved" coding and math results. And look at it now

[ruby warren]

@dim tundra @proud breach @vast crater @craggy lily @ancient osprey

1. I tried it in Kilo Code, with my own set of rules and codebase.
2. I only tested it in coding, and I have no interest in testing it in other scenarios.
3. I do not do vibecoding, as in not caring about the resulting code, only if it works.
4. The model is probably going to be GA soon. You can test it yourself then.
5. Things it got wrong: Didn't read kilocode rules by itself. Ignored eslint errors exposed by kilocode. Had to copypaste the context to it.
6. "Greater than sonnet" doesn't mean great, only greater than sonnet overall.

[proud breach]

(at least for your specific purpose), it being able to match sonnet is already nice since it's also much cheaper than sonnet.

i just don't see it surpassing opus' 74.1

was Kimi always this dumb or did Chutes quantize it too much?

This is with a temp of 0.370 btw

same response with a temp of 0.750

[inland crystal]

Chutes' impl is broken

Kimi there is prone to repeating the previous answer with small variations, regardless of what you type there

[tiny vortex]

for all implimentations or just Chutes?

[inland crystal]

Just Chutes as far as I can tell

[tiny vortex]

Thanks for the knowlege :D
