K2 0905 and K2 Thinking shortly after that have done impressively well in my personal use cases and was severely slept on. Faster, more accurate, less expensive, more flexible in terms of hosting and available months before Gemini 3 Flash, I really struggle to understand why Flash got such positive attention at launch. Interested in the dedicated Agent and Agent Swarm releases, especially in how that could affect thi…

I'm curious about the "cheaper" claim -- I checked Kimi pricing, and it's a $200/mo subscription too?
On openrouter 2.5 is at 0.60/3$ per Mtok. That's haiku pricing.
Actually open source, or yet another public model, which is the equivalent of a binary? URL is down so cannot tell.
Coincidence or not, let's just marvel for a second over this amount of magic/technology that's being given away for free... and how liberating and different this is than OpenAI and others that were closed to "protect us all".

The label 'open source' has become a reputation reaping and marketing vehicle rather than an informative term since the Hugging Face benchmark race started. With the weights only, we cannot actually audit that if a model is a) contaminated by benchmarks, b) built with deliberate biases, or c) trained on copyrighted/privacy data, let alone allowing other vendors to replicate the results. Anyways, people still love fre…
I don't get this "agent swarm" concept. You set up a task and they boot up 100 LLMs to try to do it in parallel, and then one "LLM judge" puts it all together? Is there anywhere I can read more about it?

then it creates a list of employees, each of them is specialized for a task, and they work in parallel.
Essentially hiring a team of people who get specialized on one problem.
Do one thing and do it well.

> or more than 20 million US dollars (or equivalent in other currencies) in monthly revenue, you shall prominently display "Kimi K2.5" on the user interface of such product or service. Why not just say "you shall pay us 1 million dollars"?

If you’re really lazy - the quick summary is that you can benefit from the sweet spot of context length and reduce instruction overload while getting some parallelism benefits from farming tasks out to LLMs with different instructions. The way this is generally implemented today is through tool calling, although Claude also has a skills interface it has been trained against.
So the idea would be for software development, why not have a project/product manager spin out tasks to a bunch of agents that are primed to be good at different things? E.g. an architect, a designer, and so on. Then you just need something that can rectify GitHub PRs and bob’s your uncle.
Gas town takes a different approach and parallelizes on coding tasks of any sort at the base layer, and uses the orchestration infrastructure to keep those coders working constantly, optimizing for minimal human input.
