alt Hacker News> honestly I might start using Kimi K2.5 if its open source & just +/- Gemini Pro/Chatgpt/Claude because at that point I feel like the results are negligible and we are getting SOTA open source models again.
Me too!
> I like Gemini Pro's UI over Claude so much
This I don't understand. I mean, I don't see a lot of difference in both UIs. Quite the opposite, apart from some animations, round corners and color gradings, they seem to look very alike, no?
Y'know I ended up buying Kimi's moderato plan which is 19$ but they had this unique idea where you can talk to a bot and they could reduce the price
I made it reduce the price of first month to 1.49$ (It could go to 0.99$ and my frugal mind wanted it haha but I just couldn't have it do that lol)
Anyways, afterwards for privacy purposes/( I am a minor so don't have a card), ended up going to g2a to get a 10$ Visa gift card essentially and used it. (I had to pay a 1$ extra but sure)
Installed kimi code on my mac and trying it out. Honestly, I am kind of liking it.
My internal benchmark is creating pomodoro apps in golang web... Gemini 3 pro has nailed it, I just tried the kimi version and it does have some bugs but it feels like it added more features.
Gonna have to try it out for a month.
I mean I just wish it was this cheap for the whole year :< (As I could then move from, say using the completely free models)
Gonna have to try it out more!
