Chubby♨️@kimmonismusKimi K3 will accelerate development even further. My prediction: Opus 5 will be rolled out very soon. Fable 5 is set to end on Sunday anyway, unless it is extended again, and Opus 5 will be released shortly. Exactly when, I have no idea. My guess is sometime this week or next.…

CP Carlos E. Perez@IntuitMachineKimi K3 just blew up the SpaceXAI and Meta narrative. Both have inferior models compared to a firm that barely has access to massive data centers. SpaceX and Meta may settle for selling compute rather than tokens.

DB Dean W. Ball@deanwballSome observations on Kimi: 1. It's a very good model! I don't think its performance can be explained away by distillation or anything like that. In agentic coding sessions, it seems pretty much on par with the best public models of Q1 2026. In my fairly limited use, it also…

AO Alexis Ohanian 🗽@alexisohanianYou know it's serious when I'm amplifying a political message from someone who I don't typically agree with on much of anything politically. US needs to win this race. https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/2078092271296143593
