Codex uses 256k masterfully, 1M is luxurious but still quite expensive and seems not necessary as a default.

That's because it has the best compaction of anyone, and it's not even close.

Claude might as well not even do it in my experience.

I'm always curious what you guys are working on; every git repo I've run a local model on and stick below <100k to increase speed seems effective enough to scope patches and changes.

I had Claude build me a Python-inspired .NET language that treats .NET as a first class citizen, and breaks backwards compatibility where some Python nuances don't really apply to .NET for. I was able to get it to build a sample ASP .NET Web application that ran on Culebral code. Haven't gone back to it, have been using Claude Code on a private project I'm still architecting. https://github.com/Giancarlos/Culebral

That is pretty interesting. It compiles to the CLR?

I can't seem to find pricing for this model. Since the context size is just a quarter of the full size K3, is the price also much cheaper? I usually keep my context in chats below 256k anyways so this would be tremendous honestly.

It seems to only be available in Kimi Code, via subscription, no there's no API pricing. The linked page says it consumes about half as much quota as the 1M version though.

It's not available via API (yet).

No, the waiting list is true. Kimi had become that popular. I was a subscriber of Kimi back when latest version was Kimi K2. Later I unsubscribed because I jumped over to GLM subscription (they had amazing deal). Now when I wanted to try out Kimi K3 to find out what the fuzz was all about, I couldn’t subscribe to them. I remember reading a post from Moonshot team about this, they are doing this because they are almos…

I wish I could get a Kimi subscription. I'd jump away from Anthropic in a heartbeat. When they first announced, I created an account but didn't subscribe, so I am stuck on a waitlist now.

I wonder what the criteria is, I signed up for the $19 / month waitlist today and got my invite within a few hours.

Maybe you signed up with a phone number? Mine was a Google login.

Since Claude is the first time for me really, really out (TIL against my wished about https://status.claude.com/ ), I am now interested enough to see what else works. But ... when I click pricing, I see "Join a waitlist". Wtf? Are they really that good, so were totally surprised and overwhelmed by the requests, is this a marketing stunt, or do they just don't have the hardware being in china?

I honestly prefer this as opposed to what Anthropic has done in the past which is to continue accepting users even if they don't have the capacity to serve and behind the scenes tone down everyone's limits.

I believe Codex harness is pretty sticky though I haven’t tried many others. Does anyone else provide a harness of that quality?

opencode is highly regarded, I use it exclusively

I've used open code extensively -- it's not bad, but it's not anywhere near the level of the codex application.
