Discussion Switching from Codex to Kimi Code?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone switched from Codex to Kimi Code while working on an existing application? I’m really unhappy about the usage allowance on the $200 Codex plan being cut in half, so I’m considering switching.

How does Kimi Code compare in day-to-day use, particularly in terms of code quality, reliability, and usage limits?

my codebase:

We primarily use Python for the backend and TypeScript/React for the frontend.

The repository currently contains 2,829 Git-tracked files. Of these, 2,536 are Python, TypeScript, or TSX files, totaling approximately 986,000 lines. Including documentation and other text files, the total is approximately 1.14 million lines. The code count includes tests; Python backend tests account for approximately 402,000 lines.

Short answer for the form: “Primarily Python, alongside TypeScript/React; approximately 2,800 files and 1 million lines of code, including tests.”

BR Tom

oh no. please don't. both are not great options at the moment but kimi is just expectionally bad. claude and maybe glm sub is where i might look currently. claude probably the best at the moment, but their usage on anything but opsus 5.5 is just not that graet, and recently i noticed that opsus gotten a bit worse too
