Recording the podcast this morning (public tomorrow) we were saying "rumors says kimi 3.1 release imminent".... Rumors were right
Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro: our most capable 3T-class open-weight model.
🔹 1M-token context, 2.8T total / 104B active params (MoE), Multimodal.
🔹 Full-project coding: games in Unreal, Unity & Godot.
🔹 Excels at parametric 3D modeling in Blender & CAD.
🔹 More reliable at finance work: Accurate modeling with hallucination down by 65%.
🔹 Matching the strongest proprietary models across coding, agentic and knowledge benchmarks.
Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2–3× faster) are now live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API.
Open weights by Nov 4, 2026.
🔗 API: platform.kimi.ai

+100. And this is one of biggest challenges...way before LLM... Being able to assess your own work quality. This is more relevant now though, because self assessment is more common than before
"A key signal of intelligence is communication" is an extremely good point... And where we are honestly more far at the moment.
And the problem is not only in llm, but also in trying to use the same language and communication style that work between humans or human->machine for machine->human. It just doesn't scale
And 0.2% using AI for complex project that would take weeks is pretty optimistic imho
Dusting off this tweet from April because this gap in shared understanding of LLM capability is *widening*. It's now less "two groups of people speaking past each other" and more a sharp funnel.
- Napkin math somewhere around 6B people (~75% of the population) have barely come in contact with LLMs at all.
- Around 1-2B (~20%) are casual and infrequent users of free-tier ChatGPT-like products. This group sees derpy chatbots and treats them a bit like a better Google search, a writing aid, or etc. Maybe an agent tries to book you a flight. I have non-tech friends who (reasonably, imo) say they have not much use for it at all. Even many professionals outside of math&code are in this tier. For example, execs and many other functions spend a lot of their time talking to other people, so while they understand what is happening intellectually, it is still second-hand and a bit abstract.
- Now we get to professional use of frontier-grade LLMs in math&code. Somewhere around 20M people (0.2%) see first-hand that large, complex projects that used to take them weeks/months can now be completed by agents with a prompt. Building apps, copying apps, translating apps, decompiling apps from binaries... This has all happened very quickly and recently - less than 1 year ago, I was writing code manually by hand, typing memorized computer code commands into a code editor character by character, occasionally pressing Tab to autocomplete a little chunk of code.
- And finally we get to the ~5,000 people (~0.00006%) with access to frontier-grade systems internally. The external world has seen the preview. It looks like swarms of thousands of agents collaborating over weeks on software mega projects: minting zero days, running cyber attacks and defenses at machine speeds, discovering new science, advancing the frontier of mathematics. Things that would have taken top professionals in the industry years of work. Meanwhile, human review and comprehension are starting to fall behind. For example, people are still involved in the "archeology" of the OpenAI-HF incident from many months ago. Mathematicians may be poring over the 722 manuscripts on frontier mathematics for a while.
The funnel is driven by a combination of factors:
1. The impact scales with ambition, problem size, and horizon. A question with a paragraph answer barely stresses the system. You need a reservoir of big, difficult problems that you really care about. This aspect drives the consumer / professional dimension of the funnel.
2. The jaggedness of the system (which I have written about a lot separately). Capability peaks in domains that are digital, verifiable and economically valuable. This is because LLM capability emerges from reinforcement learning on verifiable rewards on a curated environment mixture driven by revenue potential. This aspect primarily drives the area (e.g. math&code) dimension of the funnel.
3. Access. Free-tier, paid-tier, internal.
So this is the weirdness of the moment. The general public has mostly not interacted with these systems. When they have, it looks like a derpy chatbot. The majority of professionals still see only a modest uplift. And a small sliver of professionals are experiencing the vertigo of the curve going vertical. And it is all happening at the same time.
Wow I cannot stop thinking how many stuff it could unlock. Going to study it deeply
Overmind turns anyone into an AI lab.
• Builds a context graph from code and traces
• Curates training and eval datasets
• Evaluates prompts and models
• Trains smaller, specialized models

Small robots are exploding... I would need 72 hours per day...
Cool, going to try it soon
You can now train your own Decision model like Jev locally!
We increased Qwen3.5 0.8B’s aggregate accuracy from 20.7% to 74.3% across 3 decision benchmarks - on just 4GB VRAM.
Turn any LLM like Qwen3.8, Gemma 4 into decision models with our open-source Unsloth repo.
We fine-tuned with a Clef head using Unsloth and LoRA (r=64) for one epoch, increasing downstream accuracy from 30–37% to 78%.

Here is Opus 5.5 vs Sol 6.1 on risorseartificiali.com/skate…
Opus 5.5 make a great work, but spent 78k tok in 629 secs, while Sol 6.1 got a simpler result (but still satisfying the requirement), spending only 4k tok in 96 secs.
Takeaway: the best result depends on your use case and expectations.
Qwen3.8-Flash vs GPT6 Sol.... not too bad

Took a while, but here it is, a mega write-up on language models for text classification and, of course, Jev.
It's basically a visual guide to RNNs, CNNs, transformers, and calibration, with hands-on experiments on accuracy and efficiency.

You can now run Laya Decision models locally on just 4GB RAM! 🔥
Works on CPU, Mac, Windows, Linux and GPU setups.
Serve Laya through a Jev-compatible API via Unsloth Desktop.

With the team at risorseartificiali.com, we created our version of the SVG benchmark, like @simonw 's pellicano. It's a dynamic, physics-aware skateboarder...and many models struggle with it.
See the gallery we built on frontier and open/local models so far at risorseartificiali.com/skate… . It's an open-source repository you can contribute to !!
Here: Astra vs Fable
I've also tried to briefly explain why an animated SVG and physics may be a relevant quick test for new models from now on here artificialcode.substack.com/…
@ivanfioravanti do you want to play with our prompts on your local models? We look forward you PR on github.com/RisorseArtificial…

Deploying DiffusionGemma-Jev (djev) just got a lot easier. You can now spin up a Jev API-compatible endpoint on Google Cloud Run using a single command.
Performance is solid: ~35-60 ms for single step latency and batch@32 is ~100-123 requests/sec.
It's a straightforward way to experiment without needing your own GPU. Runs at roughly $3/hr and drops to $0 when idle.
