Great article! There's something I would like to point out about this:

Kimi K2 has a very low output of tokens per second, around 34.1, significantly slower than Claude Sonnet 4, which is around 91.3.

Kimi K2 is an open-source model, which means that there are multiple providers for it, not just one like Claude. You can get the same Kimi K2 model at over 200 tokens per second (for free!) on Groq and at increased speeds on other AI model providers as well.

Yes, you're right. But, it comes with heavy model quantization, which speeds up the model at a cost of model quality.
