Okay, but I would also ask “why does Claude say that its name is Claude?”


Because it's in the system prompt


AFAIK, you cannot run Claude without one of their mandatory system prompts at all.

If we wanted to compare model responses, we would give all models system prompts with model names, thereby fixing the Kimi misattribution.

The reason Kimi often states its name as Claude is likely because we can actually run it without the mandatory system prompt, smoothing over awkward competitor mentions.
