Kimi is capable model but it needs a very good harness. With a good harness it is a very capable model. But it can get into all kinds of issues (loops and such) something that frontier models do not.
As I said, you can blame the model, but it is nothing that the harness cannot take care of more deterministically.
Which harness do you recommend using then for a model like kimi 2.6, Opencode or something else?
We have our own... so I was making the comment form our own experience working with the model.
It is a lot trickier to use kimi compared to sonnet - hence why it seems that sonnet is more powerful while I think it is down to the harness.
How did you make your own harness, I am curious to know more about the building process and please feel free to share your harness.
If someone were to not use your harness and rather use some stock harness though, what is the one that you would recommend? I am curious about that too.
