I’m happy to see the Chinese labs start competing on SOTA… but hot damn that price is a turnoff.

Anyone tried Kimi 2.7 Coding out in practice yet? Curious to know how it fares against Deepseek 4 and similar budget options.

Looks like they intentionally priced it just a little less than Opus... probably to give the impression that it's a cheaper alternative without people thinking it's too cheap for a SOTA model and getting suspicious.

As usual, the AI marketing is more sophisticated than the actual technology.
