Kimi-Researcher’s step-wise reasoning reminds me of how consultants tackle thorny questions—slow but thorough. I’m keen to know whether end users will accept slower cycles if the output quality jumps, or if speed will still trump depth.

Surpassing Gemini on HLE suggests agentic LLMs are maturing fast, but we’ve seen benchmarks over-index on academic tasks before. What gameplay does Moonshot envision for less structured problems like creative strategy or negotiation?

If 26.9 % Pass@1 is the new bar for “autonomous expert,” the next milestone may be proving ROI outside the benchmark lab. Will Moonshot open-source any evaluation frameworks so teams can vet use-case fit themselves?

Kimi-Researcher moving the goalpost on expert reasoning is huge; still, commercial clients care about consistency over single-shot brilliance. How will Moonshot validate performance across unseen, messy real-world data?

The ARL approach behind Kimi-Researcher is exciting because it learns on the fly, but does that also mean unpredictable resource spikes? Curious how Moonshot balances adaptive exploration with stable operating costs.

Passing HLE at that margin is eye-opening, yet I wonder whether 200-plus reasoning steps will bottleneck responsiveness in production. Does Moonshot have a pruning strategy, or do they accept longer turn-around for higher accuracy?

Kimi-Researcher’s multi-step planning hints at a future where AI acts more like a junior analyst than a text autocomplete. The open question: can Moonshot convert this into tools that operators actually trust on a deadline?

A 26.9 % Pass@1 on Humanity’s Last Exam shows real momentum for agentic systems, but what does that translate to in deployment speed and reliability? I’d love to see benchmarks that factor in latency and token economics.

Impressive to see Kimi-Researcher leapfrog Gemini on HLE—yet Pass@1 at 26.9 % still leaves a wide gap for mission-critical use. Will agentic RL close that quickly, or do we need hybrid human-AI loops for the near term?

Kimi-Researcher just rewrote the playbook on autonomous reasoning, but turning a 200-step workflow into a commercial feature set is a different game entirely. How does Moonshot plan to keep costs sane while scaling this level of depth?
