I tried asking it "what time is it?" and got back:

> I don't have access to real-time information, so I can't tell you the current time. Your device's clock (on your phone, computer, or watch) will show you the accurate time for your location.

> Is there something else I can help you with?

K3 seems confident. A conversation on # of r's in "strawberrry" shared on r/Kimi: https://www.kimi.com/share/19f6c551-c582-8731-8000-0000a8b2f... / https://archive.vn/lTVTR

I think that's probably a good thing. Sycophancy seems to be correlated with AI psychosis. GPT 4o was creepy sycophantic and has a body count. It'll be good for chatbots to be more interested in facts than in agreeing. (Then again, I found Qwen 3.6 to be strident in its lies about Uyghurs in China, among other "sensitive" topics, parroting the party line and getting almost hostile when told to search the web for current information.)
