Re:The Kimi K3 Moment on Saturday July 18, 2026 @09:06PM (#48964066)
Since Kimi’s paid plans are mentioned in the article..interested ones should know that you can only access 1M context model with $79/mo or higher plan; otherwise you are capped at 256k context. Also, with minimal $15/mo plan k3 is currently not supported at all. (prices are yearly plan discount prices)

“Today you pardoned the founder of Binance,” Collins began. “Can you explain why you chose to pardon him, and did it have anything to do with his involvement in your family's —

“Which one, who was that?” Trump asked.

“The founder of Binance,” Collins continued. “He has involvement in your own family’s crypto business.”

“The recent one? I believe we’re talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people,” Trump said. “I don’t know. He was recommended by a lot of people. A lot of people say that — Are you talking about the crypto person? A lot of people say he wasn’t guilty of anything, he served four months in jail, and they say that he wasn’t guilty of anything.”

As Collins attempted to clarify, Trump jumped in, saying, “Well, you don’t know much about crypto — you know nothing about nothing, you fake news!”

Trump then continued answering the question.
