## Description
Kimi didn't beat Claude at coding.

It tied it. For 80% less.

On real GitHub problems, it's basically a coin flip.

Claude still edges it on clean fixes.

So it's not "better."

It's just as good, open source, and a fraction of the price.

That's the part that stings.

The moat was never the model.

The moat was that nobody else had one.

Now anyone does. For free.

And it ships with something called Agent Swarm.

300 agents. Working in parallel.

Four thousand steps. Twelve-hour runs.

You've always worked in a line.

One task, then the next.

Swarm doesn't stand in that line.

Ask it to size up your market.

It splits into 300, one per competitor.

Ten minutes later, one clean spreadsheet.

Like 300 analysts starting at once.

Not one analyst working faster.

The weeks were never the work.

They were the waiting.

And when "just as good" costs 80% less, the premium was the product.
