Tested Kimi K3 for Coding
Summary
Dot Net Perls tests the Kimi K3 model for coding by applying it to optimize a Rust function in OpenCode. The test finds that Kimi K3 produced a SWAR-based optimization within about 15 minutes, achieving roughly a 2% speedup at a token cost of around $1 on OpenRouter. The author suggests Kimi K3 could be frontier-level for coding tasks, while noting results may vary by task.
