It's not nearly as smart as Opus 4.5 or 5.2-Pro or whatever, but it has a very distinct writing style and also a much more direct "interpersonal" style. As a writer of very-short-form stuff like emails, it's probably the best model available right now. As a chatbot, it's the only one that seems to really relish calling you out on mistakes or nonsense, and it doesn't hesitate to be blunt with you.
I get the feeling that it was trained very differently from the other models, which makes it situationally useful even if it's not very good for data analysis or working through complex questions. For instance, as it's both a good prose stylist and very direct/blunt, it's an extremely good editor.
I like it enough that I actually pay for a Kimi subscription.
