Tested Kimi K3 for Coding
A user tests the new Kimi K3 AI model for coding tasks, specifically asking it to optimize a Rust function. The model successfully implemented a SWAR optimization, resulting in a 2% performance increase.
Why it matters
This demonstrates the growing capability of frontier-level AI models to perform complex, error-free software optimization tasks.
The new model Kimi K3 was released this week, and it is claimed to be near-frontier level quality similar to Fable and GPT. I decided to try it out and see if it could optimize my Rust program . I felt a less specific task, like "optimize this function somehow" was a good test.
