Kimi answer text tracking
kimianswer_textAccount required
Kimi answers are long, and we store them whole. Truncating them would discard the passages that explain why a brand was framed the way it was.
How it renders
The full answer body, stored unmodified.
Sampling
Every sample is stored, not just the modal one. Divergence between samples is the raw material for the volatility metrics.
Gotcha
Storage cost is higher here because the answers are genuinely long. We do not truncate to save space, because the tail of a Kimi answer is often where the competitor comparison lives.
What the API returns
A single collection call against Kimi for the answer text field, sampled n times and returned as one object per prompt.
