From what I've heard, Kimi K2 0905 was a major downgrade for writing.

So, when you hear people recommend Kimi K2 for writing, it's likely that they recommend the first release, 0711, and not the 0905 update.





Interesting. As others have noted, it has a cut straight to the point non-psychophantic style that I find exceptionally rich in detailey and impressive. But it sounds like you're saying an earlier version was even better.

Again, it's just what I've heard, but the way I've heard it described is: they must have fine tuned 0905 on way too many ChatGPT traces.

Ohhh, thanks, that's really good to know. I'll have to give that one a shot.
