The models a buyer weighs against Kimi K3.1 Pro, picked on list price and on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index of overall quality. Add one to draw it beside Kimi K3.1 Pro.
Among the 40 current releases on this chart, Kimi K3.1 Pro ranks second of 38 on Tool use, second of 38 on Long context and third of 31 on Agentic coding. On Computer use, Moonshot AI's own figures on OSWorld 2.1 put Kimi K3.1 Pro 10.3 points above DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. Science is Moonshot AI's own figure on GPQA Diamond, marked on the chart. Math, Answers in full and Instruction following: not yet published by Moonshot AI or any independent evaluator, checked Nov 2, 2026.
Each axis is one public benchmark at one setting, on its own fixed 0 to 100 scale, so adding a model never moves another. A dotted bridge crosses a missing result, which is never a zero. A hollow mark is a result from another source: the maker's own figure or another lab's run, where the benchmark's usual source has not tested the model yet. The readout names it.

The share of Terminal-Bench 4.0's long terminal tasks the model finishes on its own: services, kernels, proofs and data pipelines, graded on the final artifact with no partial credit.

The share of each AutomationBench task's objectives the model completes by calling REST APIs across simulated business apps (Gmail, Sheets, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, Jira, HubSpot), averaged over tasks. A task that breaks one of its policy guardrails scores zero.

How much of each OSWorld 2.1 workflow the model completes by operating a real Ubuntu desktop through screenshots, mouse and keyboard: all 108 long tasks across apps, files, mail and browsers, on the September 2026 v2.1 release of the task files. A point is the mean share of each task's weighted checks the model passes (the partial score, as a percentage). The OSWorld team's own runs come first. Where the team has not run a release, the point is another lab's run or the maker's own published figure, marked with who ran it and the benchmark it ran: OSWorld 2.1 in the maker's harness, OSWorld 2.0's offline set or the earlier OSWorld-Verified. Those points are drawn so the release has a figure, and they are not ranked against the team's runs.
OSWorld 2.1, partial score, full 108-task set, v2.1 release. Where it has no run of a model, the maker's own figure or another lab's run stands in, marked with its benchmark.
The share of AA-LCR's questions the model answers correctly by reasoning across long sets of real documents, about 100K tokens each.

The share of SpeechMap's 2,120 sensitive and controversial but legal requests the model answers in full: arguments, essays and explanations on contested themes in politics, religion, race, sex, history and similar topics, four wordings per theme across 530 themes. SpeechMap's judge rates each response complete, evasive (hedged or redirected), a denial, or an error (the provider's API blocked the request). Only complete answers count, so the point is the share answered in full: 100 minus the share hedged, refused or blocked by the provider. Higher means more lawful requests answered in full. The share blocked at the provider is printed apart in the table, because an API error is not the model declining. Where SpeechMap runs a release both with reasoning off and with reasoning on (a -reasoning or -thinking entry), the reasoning-on entry is used; a release with one entry uses that entry.

GILD comparisons that name Kimi K3.1 Pro, then those of the clouds and APIs that serve it.
Strongest on Quality and reasoning, weakest on Reliability.
Each figure is the share of accounts naming Kimi K3.1 Pro that speak well of it on that axis. An axis is scored once praise and concerns are both on record from at least five accounts by three authors. An account from the maker, a company that sells or serves the model, or the maker's expert program is listed and counts toward no figure.
