Claude Kimi 2.5 Performance
Users are comparing the performance of the Kimi K2.5 model within Claude Code, particularly for development and DevOps tasks, with some experiencing varying degrees of success and speed compared to other models like Opus 4.5 and GLM 4.7.
i use it as more of a 'doer' and rely on gpt5.2 for the type of work he is describing. that said, in the claude code harness, i've found k2.5 solid at multiturn work
Today I assigned Kimi K2.5 our hardest task. Took me 8hours manually (2 weeks ago) Opus 4.5 on Claude code got it down to 3 hours. Clawd x Claude opus 4.5 — 1hr 8min Kimi k2.5… failed miserably
have you used 2.5 in any other harness/circumstance? wondering if you've found it as adept outside claude code for me in opencode, kimi was worse than glm 4.7, let alone any paid provider leading model
