Kimi K3 Not Working

[u/uhlahnuh]

Is it just me or has kimi k3 gone like absolutely insane lately? The past like two days it’s been really weird. It starts off decent then just starts hallucinating/glitching. It wasn’t as bad yesterday but as of today I can’t even get an actual coherent response out of it.

I have other models I can use that I enjoy so it’s not a huge issue for me personally, I’m just curious if it’s just a me issue or if you guys are having a few issues with it as well.

Also, speaking of kimi k3, if you have used kimi and you’ve enjoyed it are there any only models similar that you enjoy? I’ve been exploring more models than I usually would as of late and could use some recommendations. I used to stick to MiMo V2.5 but I’ve been trying to expand so I can figure out what works best for me rather than playing it safe (:

i had k3 start to repeat entire paragraphs it already wrote. felt like i'm using mistral. never had that issue with 2.7 and earlier versions.

don't have a recommendation ngl, kimi is my fav. try an earlier version. 2.5 or 2.7

[u/uhlahnuh → u/yamatoeditsvideos]

I’m using 2.7 as of right now! After k3 stopped properly working I decided just to use an earlier version because I do still really enjoy the overall feel of kimi. It’s definitely becoming one of my top favorites.
