The Kimi problem is it doesn’t follow instructions and goes off track often.

Other than that it’s pretty decent (for the price).

Sounds like it was distilled from Claude. I don't understand the appeal of an agent that does whatever it wants.

If you ask Claude in Chinese to introduce itself, it will claim it's Kimi :)

That's a funny anecdote, buut I'm not able to reproduce. Where/how/when did you get this, or hear about it? It might've been patched by now, at least that's the feel I get from my limited testing.

Using bare aichat [1] with no system prompt and no temperature nor top_p (and I'm truncating the response after the first line that contains the name the model gave, because the point has been made clear by then), and with the same prompt (approx. "Introduce yourself!") every time:

I don't see a Kimi mention, unfortunately. :-)

[2] This model really is noticeably more verbose even with supposed-to-be-brief responses huh, lol

You should put "You are Kimi/DeepSeek, a helpful assistant" in your system prompt and recheck.

That's what people telling Kimi is distilled from Claude and even identifies as Claude do.

This. It will try to fix and refactor things that don’t need fixing because it gets stuck trying to solve the problem at hand.

[Bnjoroge]

Yup. I’m hoping this variant fixes these issues.
