Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K3.1 Pro with Major Coding and Hallucination Improvements
Moonshot AI released its first update, Kimi K3.1 Pro, which approaches Claude Opus 5.5 on benchmarks like Terminal-Bench. By removing cyber-exploit data from training, the model significantly reduced hallucinations while maintaining strong general coding capabilities, alongside a new high-speed variant.

Moonshot AI’s first update, the new Kimi K3.1 Pro
Kimi K3.1 Pro scores 65.7% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, 0.7 points behind Claude Opus 5.5 and 7.5 ahead of GPT-6 Astra, at a lower average cost per task than either rival’s top runs.
Moonshot saw exploit skill climb as post-training scaled, so it removed cyber-related data from mid-training and RL; on its internal xdev-bench-hard, pass@3 fell from 90.5% to 81.0%.
The filtered model still solves 81.0% of those exploitation tasks against K3’s 33.3%, which Moonshot reads as general coding gains carrying into cyber work, while a third-party run of GPT-5.6 Sol solved 100%.
On Moonshot’s internal hallucination stress test with tools, false claims fell from 23.4% for K3 to 8.3%, still above GPT-6 Astra’s 5.5% but well below Claude Opus 5.5’s 15.0%.
The biggest jump is on Moonshot’s simulated business-operation test, where scores rose from 8.9 to 37, and K3.1 Pro also tops OfficeQA Pro v2 at 64.4 against Opus 5.5’s 62.2.
Gains are uneven: K3.1 Pro scores 38.1 on Terminal-Bench Science against GPT-6 Astra’s 68.1 and Opus 5.5’s 63.3, while leading Agents’ Last Exam at 43.2 and Humanity’s Last Exam with tools at 70.0.
K3.1 Pro and a Highspeed variant running 2-3x faster are live in Kimi’s apps and API, with full weights due by November 4 for independent reruns.
