This kimi website, it looks like a stylesheet from the 90's. They could learn a thing or two about typeface design. Steve Jobs would be incensed at this.

> dumbing down their models, This should be so easy to prove if it were true. Yet there is none of it, just vibes. Still, your other two points are completely valid. The opaqueness of usage quotas is a scam, within a single month for a single model it can differ by more than 2x. And this indeed has been proven.

Second link is just a discussion of the first link.
Early benchmarks show tremendous improvement over Kimi K2 Thinking, which didn't perform well on our benchmarks (and we do use best available quantization). Kimi K2.6 is currently the top open weights model in one-shot coding reasoning, a little better than GLM 5.1, and still a strong contender against SOTA models from ~3 months ago (comparable to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview). Agentic tests are still running, check back t…
I'm looking at your table now - is there a reason why you don't include cost? If Opus 4.7 is the winner but costs e.g. 5x as much, that's important information.
I'm interested to hear about any other data representations you'd like to see, too. The goal is to convey the most important information as densely as possible, without too much clutter.

No, not even close. US energy sources for 2024 (last year for which we have data): https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/data-and... natgas: 38% oil: 35% coal: 10% all renewables: 9% nuclear: 8% Within all renewables, in quadrillions of btus: biofuels: 2.6 wood: 1.9 wind: 1.6 solar: 1.4 Hydro: 0.8 waste: 0.4 geothermal: 0.1 Total: 8.8 quadrillion btu = 9% of total energy
https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/renewables... Renewables generated more energy than natural gas for the entire month of March, 2026. That's a new milestone baby.
First, you are confusing share of electricity generation with the share of all energy. Electricity is only 21% of all energy. Natgas, oil and coal are crushing it in that remaining 79%.
Second, the article is wrong, even for electricity. To their credit, Canary Media showed in their graph that this data is for electricity only.
The data for March is not out yet. Here is the latest official data from the EIA. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/
It only applies to January 2026, and the next release is April 23, and then you will get data for February 2026. All data has a 2 month time lag. Your spidey senses should have been tingling if an article published April 10 claimed to have data for the month of March, but this is why you don't get your statistics from activist blogs, but from official sources.
So if they are not accessing the official data, what are they accessing? They claim that their source is "Ember", but what is Ember? It is an environmentalist think tank. Well, maybe Ember has their own people calling up power companies and compiling data faster than the EIA. That would be pretty, cool, right?
Except they don't. Look at Ember's page.
https://ember-energy.org/data/electricity-data-explorer/?ent...
what do they cite as their data source: EIA.
It's right on the website.
So Ember is just pulling EIA data, and then filling the last two months with data they made up, but citing it as EIA data. And this, uh, sympathetic adjustment of EIA data is why Canary Media turns to Ember rather than directly pulling from EIA.
I guarantee you that by July, those adjustments will go away, because then the EIA data will be out.
Of course everyone else will have forgotten by then.

Rule of law in the US - are you kidding yourself? When American citizens are being gunned down in public on cameras by US federal government agents, you are telling me that the US follows the rule of law? Before you start to offer more propaganda, just tell me where is the killer of Renée Good, has that killer been arrested or charged yet? Keep your censored version of rule of law to yourself and your kids. oh, btw,…
It is understandable to feel frustrated when justice fails (and I wholeheartedly agree that justice failed all of us many times in relation to Trump), but I think it's a mistake to confuse those specific failures with a total collapse of the rule of law. The rule of law in the United States does not guarantee a perfect or utopian society; what it does provide is a crucial framework for accountability and transparency…
1. Renée Good's killer is still free, never got arrested never charged. you can't just ignore such facts and cheap talk to prove the system works. the system completely failed to bring justice even after large scale public unrest. that by itself is the evidence - the failed system answers to no one.
2. Trump evade prison, everyone in the Epstein file evade prison. again, this happened in front of the entire world with extensive media coverage. you need to be extremely innovative to defend such systematic failures of the justice system.
how would you openly argue against such facts? just because you love the US and its systems? lol

I think one of the motivations is undermining US companies. OpenAI and Anthropic are the two biggest players, and are American. Open weights models reduce the power those two big players have over the industry. If the Chinese companies tried to play by US rules and close-source their products then people would mostly use ChatGPT and Claude. So the Chinese companies don't make a ton of profit either way, but by releas…
It's mostly only OpenAI, Claude and Gemini may have their unique advantages, but when speaking of models and new paradigm, only OpenAI can do it.
There is some humor in the fact that china (of all countries) is pioneering possibly the world's most important tech via open source, while we (US) are doing the exact opposite.

Think it was pretty obvious what I meant to all but the most pedantic, bud. But just to be clear, your issue here is that a think tank cited the same (notoriously anti-renewable Trump admin) government agency that you've cited multiple times yourself? That's what set off your spidey senses? Have you considered that this respected think tank isn't making up data, but you're just not able to find it?
> I guarantee you that by July, those adjustments will go away, because then the EIA data will be out.
Ember already has it hoss, they don't call it Milestone March for nothing.

You keep saying that word, "censorship." I do not think it means what you think it means. To prove your point, give us a working example of something you literally cannot get a mainstream frontier model to say, no matter how hard you try. I asked for this before, and there have been no takers yet.
Aligning a model in a way that causes it to refuse requests to produce propaganda for one country, but not for another country is what? Is there some functionally equivalent word to censorship you'd like to use because of you're naive enough to think US corporations would not self-censor but Chinese corporations would? - Also, you are invested the goalpost of "no matter how hard you try", I don't find it interesting…
Besides, why do you want a model to produce propaganda? Surely you have better things to do.
