It scored 62/80 (77.5%), placing third behind Fable 5 (82.5%) and Opus 4.8 (80%). Standout qualities include strong long-horizon task persistence, smart autonomous tool use (e.g., using Chrome CLI unprompted), and efficient reasoning without overthinking. The reviewer notes that in real agentic work it feels better than Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.6, and recommends using it via Kimi CLI for best results. The video is sponsored by Moonshot but the reviewer claims editorial independence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
