Kimi teases new model K3.1, focusing on engineering tasks

Kimi has teased its next-generation model Kimi K3.1. According to the teaser, K3.1 doubles down on professional engineering tasks, with the goal of real-world execution rather than LLM capabilities. The author believes the key issue is price: Kimi is priced relatively high among Chinese models, which may slow user growth, and K3.1 needs to prove that its performance gains are enough to justify this cost.
