A teaser image for Kimi K2.6 generated 434 upvotes and 82 comments on r/LocalLLaMA. The K2.6-code-preview has been rolling out quietly to Kimi Code subscribers since April 13, built on a trillion-parameter MoE architecture with improvements in reasoning depth ('Opus-style' chain-of-thought), agent planning, and multi-step tool calling reliability. Developer benchmarks jumped from 83 (K2.5) to 89, reportedly reaching Sonnet 4.6 level in practical use. A full public K2.6 release appears imminent based on community buzz.
