Nanbeige4.3-33B — 72/100 (hype)
Why: 828 X posts in 7 days (824 in the last 24h, new this week, up from under 1 post a day before); top post by @nanbeige got 2,452 likes. Nanbeige LLM Lab's (BOSS Zhipin) open-weight 33B model, Apache-2.0, released Oct 25, 2026 with a 512K context. Built for agentic coding and office "cowork" tasks; its own tables show 80.9 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 vs 73.0 for Qwen3.8-27B, but every number is self-reported so far. Needs serious GPUs (the sample vLLM setup uses 4) or a community MLX/GGUF quant.

Use it free in the Kimi web/app or via Kimi Code and the API. ~11k X posts in a week; claims of matching top US models still need independent checks.
