It's also one of the few models that seem capable of drawing an SVG clock https://clocks.brianmoore.com/
Is it? In your link it definitely failed to draw the clock.
It reruns the prompt every minute.

Maybe this can help

If it's open then there will be multiple providers. I see it is on OpenRouter now.

Model seems quite capable, but this use-case is just yikes. As if interviewing isn't already a hellscape.

Why use "their API"? It is an open model, use any provider on OpenRouter

Still, you won't hear about Tiananmen square from this model. It flat out refuses to answer if pushed directly. It's also pretty wild how far they go to censor it during inference on the API, because it can easily access any withheld or missing info from training data via tool calls. It even starts happily writing an answer based on web search when asked indirectly, only to get culled completely once some censorship…
Only if you use Kimi API directly - the censorship is done externally. The model itself talks fine about Tiananmen, you can check on Openrouter. There might be less visible biases, though.
That's what I wrote? Except that it also clearly has internal bias?

It redraws it every minute, and some models give quite different results although the prompt is exactly the same.
Re: Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
#119I have been testing it in my app all morning, and the results line up with 4.6 Sonnet. This is just a "vibe" feeling with no real testing. I'm glad we have some real competition to the "frontier" models.
it feels like between K2.6 and GLM5.1 we have Sonnet level intelligence at roughly Haiku level pricing. Which is great.
I'm hoping that Anthropic will be able to release an updated Haiku soon and they really need something that is 1/3-1/5 the price of Haiku to compete with the truly cheaper models (Gemma-4 is really good at this range).
Re: Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
#120K2.5 was already pretty decent so I would try this. Starting at $15/month: https://www.kimi.com/membership/pricing edit: Note that you can run it yourself with sufficient resources (e.g., companies), or access it from other providers too: https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k2.6/providers
"sufficient resources" is going to be a lot of resources. I doubt this will run on even something like a Strix Halo or DGX Spark, even at 1-bit quantization. You'll need a 256GB or 512GB Mac Studio, or a monster GPU situation, to run it locally, I think, though quantized versions aren't showing up yet, to be sure.
