Has anyone here used Kimi for actual work?

I tried it once, although it looks amazing on benchmarks, my experience was just okay-ish.

On the other hand, Qwen 3.6 is really good. It’s still not close to Opus, but it’s easily on par with Sonnet.

Before GLM-5.1, I was going back and forth between Opus 4.5 and Kimi 4.5 and having very good results with Kimi.

I've used Kimi K2.5 when I run out of Codex quota. It does small and medium things OK. But if I work on complex things, I'll later have to spend two days cleaning up the mess with Codex. Hopefully 2.6 does better.

Yes. You’re using Kimi if you use the composer-2 model in cursor. It’s great. Plan in state of the art. Execute in composer-2
