Is Kimi K2.5 the best design LLM yet? We added Kimi K2.5 on @SuperDesignDev Compared common design task across Kimi K2.5 VS gemini 3 flash VS gpt 5.2 For UI generation, animation, visual understanding... Here is my verdict 🧵

1/ Visual understanding & UI replication Same image + text prompt to replicate the UI Left (Kimi K 2.5) | Middle (Gemini 3.0 flash) | Right (GPT 5.2) I think Kimi 2.5 is the winner here, It got every little detail right (Even subtle background texture that difficult to tell), while Gemini 3 flash is close This align with what @Kimi_Moonshot mentioned in the blog - they spent lots time training model's visual coding GPT 5.2 is like wtf

2/ Animation & Scroll interactions Left (Kimi K2.5) | Middle (Gemini 3.0 flash) | Right (GPT 5.2) Kimi K2.5 & Gemini 3 flash are tie, GPT 5.2 just so bad at interactions & animations ----- Prompt: "Create a React landing page using GSAP ScrollTrigger where a central cluster of nine overlapping, randomly rotated art cards "explodes" outward into a perfectly aligned 3x3 grid as the user scrolls. The UI should feature a deep charcoal background with floating, colorful bokeh circles and a large serif "Kimi Universe" title that remains centered while the subtitle dynamically cross-fades between "Explore the Infinite," "Journey Through Dimensions," and "Infinite Possibilities" based on scroll progress. Ensure the animation is smooth and "scrubbable," with cards transitioning from their initial random rotations to 0° as they lock into the grid, maintaining full responsiveness for mobile devices."

3/ One-shot UI generation with default taste; Left (Kimi K2.5) | Middle (Gemini 3 flash) | Right (GPT 5.2) I actually like gpt 5.2 the most, though it obviously cost 6x more Kimi K2.5 pure text prompt led to AI-ish UI with purple gradient color I think w/ Kimi K2.5, the impact of prompt matters even more

4/ Animation Left (Kimi K2.5) | Middle (Gemini 3.0 flash) | Right (GPT 5.2) Kimi K2.5 & gemini 3 flash are tie Again GPT 5.2 not great at animations ------- Prompt: "A Minimalise character, head only, floating gently on a clean light off-white background. The character is a diffused, glowing sphere of flowing aurora light, blending cyan, violet, and soft blue gradients, with soft, foggy edges blending into the background. The face is outlined by glowing, clean geometric white vector lines, featuring distinct Notion-style high curved eyebrows, simple dot eyes, and a prominent "L" shaped nose line. The expression is neutral and calm. Ethereal, translucent, abstract, 3D render, soft light"

There is a Model battle mode on @SuperDesignDev , where you can compare design output across models Overall, Kimi K2.5 is prob the best visual understanding model I've seen Good prompt pays off more on design results
