User Experiences
Some users are expressing disappointment with Kimi K3’s performance. As one user noted:
I tried Kimi K3 on a task I’ve done with every other model I use regularly and found it chewed a lot longer on the problem and ate up almost the entirety of a 5 hour usage limit on their $19 plan.
Others are concerned about the model’s future:
Once western governments declare it to be a national security risk for citizens to have access to open-weight frontier models, and once they classify using these models as acts of terrorism, what will that world be like?
