Kevin’s take
“Made a big splash in 2023 by being one of the first models to handle truly massive documents. The K2 series has continued to impress — especially for coding and research. Perplexity actually uses Kimi K2 to power part of its own Deep Research. That's a meaningful endorsement.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support
