## What to inspect with Claude

Review material, resolve contradictions and edit a draft without replacing the author's point.

- Claude Opus 5, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5, Sonnet 5.5 and Fable 5 are separate choices in Canvas.

- Up to 5 text blocks and 10 images per task, producing a text answer.

- Canvas saves up to 3400 answer characters. Break long material into stages.

## What to inspect with Kimi

Kimi K3 and K3.1 Pro chat models: a long context, with text and images as input.

- Kimi K3 and Kimi K3.1 Pro are separate choices in Canvas.

- Up to 5 text blocks and 10 images per task, producing a text answer.

- Canvas saves up to 3400 answer characters: build a long result in parts.

- A confident answer can be wrong: check figures, dates, quotations and outside facts.

## How to run a fair comparison

- Use the same system context and user request for both models.

- For image tests, attach the same file and ask the same question about it.

- Score reasoning quality, factual accuracy, response format and speed separately.

- Repeat difficult tests: one good answer does not prove consistent model behavior.
