Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We’re calling it

Kimi 2.6 Thinking seems very good for an open weights model, but many rough edges compared to closed SoTA. The Lem Test resulted in a 74 page thinking trace… and an okay-ish answer. It did an okay TiKZ unicorn, an adequate twigl shader for a neogothic city in the waves, etc.
