After DeepSeek R1, there's new model from China that outperforms Claude Sonnet 3.5 & GPT-4o. Kimi is a multimodal model with advanced Chain-of-thoughts reasoning and real-time web search.

How does it compare to r1 though. They seem to have avoided comparing them
From my anecdotal experience they're pretty similar. A couple of nice things with Kimi is that it can do internet searches, and you can paste images in for it to analyze.
Internet searches don't depend on the model, you just need the infrastructure to feed it in
