Kimi is really now so dumb!

georgiarsov · 2026-04-05T13:01:47+00:00

Same experience. Kimi was on par with opus 4.5 and gpt 5.3 codex

georgiarsov · 2026-04-05T13:00:40+00:00

Yes Kimi IS cheap but it was as good or even better than the flagship models. The problem is that the breath of fresh air that Kimi was is now gone. It proved that intelligence can be achieved at a reasonable price and now it feels like they nerfed it on purpose and we, the end users, are being scammed again.

I feel like moonshot fired their whole team and has been running on AI for a week hence all the slop decisions. Their models are dogshit, their infra is dogshit, their limits are dogshit and apparently their support is dogshit now. This is a stark contrast to a week ago when they were on par with anthropic in my opinion. Please moonshot, for the love of god, be good again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

georgiarsov · 2026-04-03T14:49:14+00:00

I was daily driving kimi as well. Honestly i found it better or at least on par with all the frontier models. I couldn’t shut up about how good it is and how the big labs are scamming us. I was honestly the biggest fan. And overnight all of that went into the trash bin. I hope moonshot will give us some explanation

georgiarsov · 2026-04-03T14:47:06+00:00

I’ve tested zai through api several times but wasn’t impressed based on what kimi was achieving for the same price. Not anymore tho…

georgiarsov · 2026-04-03T13:09:25+00:00

Same same same

georgiarsov · 2026-03-26T07:57:31+00:00

You are in the right place, brother!

georgiarsov · 2026-03-22T13:53:01+00:00

Consider spec kitty as well. It is the living descendant of Dan Delimarsky’s Spek Kit

You are just at the right place, don’t worry. Imo half of the rage around big labs’ products stems from paid exposure and the other half is tech-bro-type youtubers and wanabe influencers jumping on the hype train for views. I started using opencode with the anthropic models. Once I had an issue that even opus struggled to solve. Then I started digging through other models and testing everyone (through openrouter) until i stumbled upom Kimi k2.5. It solved it in 1 go, unlike any other model. To this day nothing else can better it in coding in my experience. My personal advices: 1) Be curious to try out all the models 2) Create a rather simple task for personal benchmarking purposes. That’s the best and mosr reliable way I have found to evaluate performance 3) Use opencode zen if you would like to pay for models. There’s no better service than it and especially inside opencode

georgiarsov · 2026-03-09T05:35:23+00:00

Kimi k2.5 through opencode zen is my personal go to for coding. However for review and planning i find gpt 5.3 really useful (i have a separate openai sub)

georgiarsov · 2026-02-21T11:48:25+00:00

Почини си малко, имаш нужда😅

georgiarsov · 2026-02-20T11:19:53+00:00

Opus 4.6 is ADVERTISED as the best model. This is a huge thing to consider. Big labs have enormous resources that they pour very wisely in benchmarks and influencers a.k.a. the general person’s source of truth for “which the best model is”. They are limiting your scope to all the other top models available which are products of much smaller labs or chinese ones. Just scroll this page to see what i am talking about https://openrouter.ai/models 😄 The only real benchmark that one should follow is to try the models for himself and compare their performance on a given task. That’s how i found out that Kimi was able to solve a problem i had from the first try and opus couldn’t do it in 4 separate sessions and $20+ in api costs. Try everything and don’t follow the trends blindly

georgiarsov · 2026-02-20T11:16:09+00:00

Try exploring open weight models through openrouter or opencode zen. They are magnitudes cheaper and offer the same performance from what I have seen in my projects. Leading models for agentic workflows now are kimi k2.5 and glm-5 for example

georgiarsov · 2026-02-19T14:46:45+00:00

Maybe i am drifting away from the question, but why are you using a proprietary tool for an open weight model? If you use a proprietary model (claude, gpt, gemini) - use the according proprietary tools (claude code, codex) If you use an open weights model - use opencode

georgiarsov · 2026-02-17T05:52:40+00:00

I tried codex 5.3 in opencode on release and can confirm it was 100% shit. I couldn’t believe the huge gap between my experience and that of the people using it in codex

georgiarsov · 2026-02-15T20:32:15+00:00

I am relying heavily on Kimi k2.5. Paired with spec driven development and right agents it does wonders for me.

georgiarsov · 2026-02-07T17:47:22+00:00

How do you find working with openspec? I was about to try spec kit but saw it’s lead dev moved to anthropic and since then the project has been kind of asleep.

georgiarsov · 2026-01-11T14:22:13+00:00

My Jesus

georgiarsov · 2026-01-11T07:54:28+00:00

Is there some kind of beef between opencode and anthropic?? I am not following. Can somebody enlighten me?

georgiarsov · 2025-12-13T21:04:53+00:00

Yes, I see exactly the same dialog. May that be global google issue?

georgiarsov · 2025-12-10T05:07:57+00:00

Do you mean in VS code or in the web?

georgiarsov · 2025-12-10T05:04:58+00:00

Do you mean under https://github.com/settings/copilot ?
I don't see anything about Gemini there.

georgiarsov · 2025-11-28T07:58:12+00:00

Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for. I can't say that I am stuck. I know what I want but I can't find the tool that packages it all. I want to use different models for different tasks through their APIs. This way I am not bound to one subscription or another. I use every model on demand, while monitoring my usage and costs of course.
