Good that they are keeping it, Kimis way of speaking and conveying some sort of EQ is absolutely the best. The other models might be better at certain things, but nothing comes close to how good Kimi is at understanding language, emotions and reading the room in conversations.

I should maybe also mention that I have not used the later models like Opus or Fable, so my opinion might be a bit outdated.

When I remember that this site even showed Kimi having the highest score at one point https://eqbench.com
