One of the dumbest models for its size I've ever tried
Pays no meaningful attention to the context, spouts contradictory logic and really prefers to repeat itself ad nauseum rather than answer questions.
Not to mention the typical traits of a bad model: lacks grasp on fundamental elementary-grade knowledge and compensates by fabricating references to absent context.
It's bonkers to think Kimi is effectively this imbecile model scaled way up to a size that prevents the wide public to evaluate locally.
There are much smarter 12B models than this 16B out there.
