Not worth it. I have just tried a single prompt in the web interface and it is still not finish reasoning. It thinks too much and often repeats the same stuff over and over.

Combine with the price it will surely more costly than gpt 5.6.

Its bad to judge these things on immediate release, there is a spike of excited users and that distorts performance. Also bad to judge from on a single interaction, you'll get bad requests with every provider, super busy times raise the probability

Yeah, I'm literally getting 529 API Overloaded responses on Claude Code right now.

Is there a way to try it without using your Google account or giving them your phone number?

Semi-off-topic, but...

Is the release of this why Google's share price is down 4.5%?

No, Pichai is just once again sitting with his thumb up his ass while Gemini is getting owned by better models.

Quite impressed by the result to my first prompt...

How feasible is it to hook Kimi up to do GitHub code reviews? the Copilot quotas got really stingy recently

you could use my model router to route between models like that. https://github.com/try-works/role-model

This is too expensive to be a viable model. If it were $5/1m output, it might be another story. At these prices, there's no reason to use this over GPT 5.6.

neither ClosedAI nor Misanthropic will let you use their models without them watching and storing the exchanges indefinitely. no sane company dealing with PII and/or trade secrets allows its employees to use those.

Is this really true? I was led to believe my company had an enterprise zero data retention agreement with them and it’s why we didn’t get access to Fable

Is there proof of what you’re saying or is it just a guess?

Read the terms of the ZDR policy with a critical eye. You’ll find that Anthropic retains almost arbitrary rights to retain anything it wants.

oh, I've no doubt the US government and giga corporations can get zero data retention without ten pages of fine print. the rest of us can't.

Unless you spend 5min googling and see that you can do zero retention via AWS Bedrock.
carljungslabtek 7 hours ago||
Yeah even the chatgpt teams subscription claims ZDR. I believe the business plan from anthropic does too.

Of course maybe there is some fine print I haven’t read, and obviously I get the point that it may not be trustworthy.

edit: whoops I just checked and the “business”/“teams” plans just agree not to use your data for training

> zero data retention

Zero data retention is also "trust me dude".

There is no viable way of checking they are actually doing that.

That's assuming they don't put carve-out clauses in, like Anthropic did with Fable, which means data retention is back on the cards, no exceptions.

Also don't forget a zero data retention clause is still subject to the good old "law, or court or administrative order" contract clauses. :)

To get properly close to real zero-retention in a hosted model, you would have to use one of the verifiably private AI that runs in enclaves, e.g. Tinfoil (US) or Privatemode (Germany)[2]. Yes, still not the same as running on your own hardware, but a million lightyears ahead of "zero data retention" "trust me dude" clauses.

No I know of course, I don’t trust them as far as I can throw them when all of these companies committed the largest copyright theft in human history to build the models.

I just wanted to know if that other person had proof or not, and I guess they didn’t. I would still rather have some semblance of an agreement than not have one at all — if you’re coding on a consumer plan you should just 100% assume anything you write with it will end up in the training set

In context it seems your recommendation is to instead send those data to models within Chinese nation-network space. I’m not here to defend US frontier model companies; your accusation is probably accurate. But I doubt sending data to China is an improvement.

with open weight models, you have three other options

A) use a provider that pinky-swears not to store your data. they obviously don't give a fuck about 'distillation attacks', so they have little motivation to voluntarily monitor and store your queries. reasonably high likelihood of privacy.

B) rent the hardware and run the model yourself. very high likelihood of privacy.

C) buy the hardware and run the model yourself. absolute certainty of privacy.

That depends entirely on the hosting situation. If someone can provide a subscription plan at slightly lower rates, it's absolutely compelling.

Moonshot has subscriptions maxing out at $199/month. Not home so not had a chance to see if K3 is included yet.

EDIT: Just switched my Kimi-CLI session to K3 and resumed my ongoing /goal... Will be interesting to see if I notice a difference.

I am trying to benchmark it, but it only supports (max) reasoning, and even for simple questions, it takes forever to answer/times out :(

All Gemma models were <30B so far, Google doesn't want to cannibalize its Gemini line too much
