> Kimi K2.6 a shot for coding? They outperform Deepseek v4 pro

I think this probably depends quite a bit on the specific problem. I'm finding that Deepseek v4 Flash often outdoes Kimi 2.6 on a variety of coding problems that involve complex spatial reasoning

Oh that's quite interesting and hasn't been my experience with regular backend code specifically with respect to tool calling. However that could be because the tool calling format in vllm for Deepseek v4 was broken until a few days ago and that's how I'm running it.

I've been hearing amazing things about Flash, I should give it a try.

Really? I've found kimi k2.6 to be really good for vision and spatial stuff. Gemini has been the only subjectively better one but gemini isn't reliable in a loop
