Kimi K2.6 is a legit Opus 4.7 replacement

After testing it and getting some customer feedback too, its the first model I'd confidently recommend to our customers as an Opus 4.7 replacement. It's not really better than Opus 4.7 at anything, but, it can do about 85% of the tasks that Opus can at a reasonable quality, and, it has vision and very good browser use. I've been slowly replacing some of my personal workflows with Kimi K2.6 and it works surprisingly well, especially for long time horizon tasks. Sure the model is monstrously big, but I think it shows that frontier LLMs like Opus 4.7 are not necessarily bringing anything new to the table. People are complaining about usage limits as well, it looks like local is the way to go.
