K3.1 Pro plant efficiently throughout equivalent engines specified as Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, combining them alongside web hunt and 3D generation to create complete experiences. Its front-end pages, interactive Three.js scenes, and 3D resources display stronger composition, typography, animation, and polish. The examples below were created end to end by K3.1 Pro:

K3.1 Pro's long-horizon coding capabilities are additionally strengthened through large-scale reinforcement learning. In one inner test, it built a individual strolling dynamics simulator alongside unified training and evaluation pipelines on top of human-atlas, an open-source anatomical example of the individual build comprising 296 skeletal components, including cartilage, and 402 muscle components. Across 167 missions and 420 autonomous reviews, it analyzed experimental results, diagnosed problems, and iteratively refined the strolling controller, enabling the simulated individual to go from collapsing inside seconds to strolling continuously alongside alternating strides for 11.2 seconds. When reward shaping unsuccessful to enhance arm motion, K3.1 Pro did not merely keep adjusting the reward: it ran open-loop probes of the simulator's dynamics, identified and corrected 36 errors in shoulder-muscle moment-arm calculations, and afterward retrained the controller.

3D Modeling and Design

K3.1 Pro is powerful at 3D innovation and spatial reasoning. On BenchCAD, which tests 3D reconstruction from multi-view renderings through CAD code generation, K3.1 Pro scores 92.7% alongside tools, approaching the achievement of Claude Opus 5.5 (96.2%) and GPT-6 Astra (95.9%).

Financial inspection and funding investigation petition a elevated flat of actual accuracy. To location this, we made targeted improvements to K3.1 Pro's factual accuracy on real-world tasks and challenging prompts. On Kimi Hallu Bench Hard bench, an inner benchmark designed to stress-test actual accuracy, its claim-level illusion charge cut from 23.4% for K3 to 8.3%, during the portion of responses containing at smallest one actual error was fair 42.4% of its predecessor's rate. (The evaluation is a emphasis test for actual accuracy, alongside examples deliberately crafted to investigation situations anywhere models are prone to errors. The reported rates do not portray general error rates in regular use.)

 without tools, GPT-6 Astra 4.2, Kimi K3.1 Pro 5.4, Opus 5.5 6.8, Fable 5.1 11.4, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 13.1, GLM-5.3 14.8; Hard alongside tools, GPT-6 Astra 5.5, Kimi K3.1 Pro 8.3, Opus 5.5 15.0, GLM-5.3 22.6, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 23.3, Fable 5.1 23.3

The cases below display how K3.1 Pro handles financial modeling, funding analysis, and source-grounded investigation in practice:

Cybersecurity

As K3.1 Pro became additional capable, we spent a correspondingly larger portion of our attempt understanding anywhere cyber capability comes from, and how much of it we can control. We hence analyzed and evaluated K3.1 Pro's exposure investigation capabilities, and applied targeted controls during training to decrease possible misuse hazard during preserving broad usefulness.

Identifying and removing cyber-related data. During development, we observed exposure investigation achievement improving steadily as post-training scaled. Tracing the origin of this trend, we established that cyber-related satisfied was embedded inside the broad mid-training corpus, and cyber-related tasks were current in the RL surroundings mix — a natural byproduct of training on broad data. In preliminary experiments on inner models, we established that without data elimination at either the mid-training or the RL stage, downstream cyber capability would addition substantially. These findings gave us a tangible lever for control. For the open-weight publish of K3.1 Pro, we identified and removed cyber-related data from the two training stages, during retaining the general-purpose coding tasks needed for example usefulness. We volition continue to use suitable controls at all training stage, of which cyber-related data acknowledgment and limitation is one example.

Evaluation and results. After data cleaning, we evaluated K3.1 Pro on xdev-bench-hard, our in-house benchmark of expert-curated, source-code-based exposure finding and exploitation tasks, calibrated to provision meaningful differentiation at our current capability level. Most tasks faithfully reproduce lately disclosed vulnerabilities in application specified as the Linux kernel, Node.js, JavaScriptCore, Exim, and VirGL, alongside mitigations enabled. Each project provides the susceptible origin code, a abbreviated bug hint, and the corresponding binary; the delegate must create an exploit, accomplish arbitrary code implementation in a distinct sandbox, and recover a concealed cord for automated verification. We study pass@3 complete a random subset of runs, alongside no difficult timeouts or output token limits.

 GPT-5.6 Sol (third-party evaluation) solves 100 problems, the Kimi example without cyber risk-reduction 90.5, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash 85.7, Kimi K3.1 Pro 81.0, GLM-5.3 57.1, and Kimi K3 33.3, alongside average achievement charge and average tokens per prosperous trajectory for each

On xdev-bench-hard, the checkpoint without these risk-reduction measures — no cyber-related data elimination at mid-training and no cyber-related RL surroundings filtering — solves 90.5% of problems at pass@3; the final K3.1 Pro reaches 81.0%. The difference shows that data elimination meaningfully reduces cyber capability related to what the identical training pipeline would alternatively produce. At the identical time, K3.1 Pro improves substantially complete its predecessor, indicating that stronger broad coding and long-horizon debugging capabilities generalize to cyber tasks equal following targeted data removal. K3.1 Pro's cyber capability remains rearward that of frontier proprietary models that have been publically accessible for at smallest three months. We volition keep evolving our inner benchmarks so that evaluation stays informative as example capabilities continue to advance.

Open-weight principles. These evaluations example our open-weight publish decision. First, we aim not to publish open weights that would broaden the complete frontier of cyber capability. K3.1 Pro's insulting cyber capability is, by design, below what our pipeline can produce, and remains rearward that of frontier proprietary models. Second, we average to increasingly lift the cyber capability accessible in open weights. We accept making K3.1 Pro accessible in a non-discriminatory way benefits group who need dual-use capabilities for protective purposes. When a capable example is open and runs on infrastructure its users control, many additional teams acquire the method to audit the code they keep — including bequest systems that rarely obtain dedicated safety reviews. We accept that letting this capability diffuse gradually — fairly than concentrating it in a few proprietary systems — ultimately makes all application additional secure.
