An open source model has returned to #1 on the 3D Design leaderboard by Design Arena. Kimi K2.6 has reached the top of the leaderboard for 3D Design, ahead of models 10X more expensive like Opus 4.7 by Anthropic, Gemini 3.5 Flash by Google DeepMind, and GPT 5.5 by OpenAI. This is an 18 position increase from its previous model Kimi K2.5. In fact, it’s not just Kimi K2.6 - 3D Design is a striking outlier capability that’s mostly dominated by open-weight models, like GLM 5.1 by Z.ai, MiMo v2.5 by Xiaomi Technology, amongst others. Congrats on the Kimi (Moonshot AI) team for this accomplishment!
