Kimi K3.1 and the fifth of November

Subject: Kimi K3.1

Claim

From fan accounts: it "will release before Tuesday next week", "will be a state of the art Open Source model", and "from what ive heard (rumors/leaks) it will be the best open weight models there is".

Finding

The official artifact was a 24-second teaser with no model card, price or benchmark table. Release estimates ranged from "probably today" to "the fifth of November". It was probably today: Kimi K3.1 Pro shipped fifteen hours after the teaser, announced as "open-weight", with weights not yet public at the time of this build. Benchmarks arrived 48 minutes into "the next thirty minutes", which by industry standards is early.
