Kimi-maker Moonshot AI targets $2B in annual revenue
Kimi 的制造商 Moonshot AI 计划实现 20 亿美元的年收入，尽管其模型开发实践备受争议。Anthropic 指控 Moonshot AI 进行了“长期模型蒸馏活动”，声称 Kimi 的近 30 万个请求被直接路由到 Claude Opus，实际上是用 Opus 代替了 Kimi 自己的模型。Anthropic 进一步指出，Moonshot AI 从其模型中收集了超过 2300 万个响应用于训练。

One of China’s most prominent AI labs, Moonshot AI, believes it can turn its popular open-weight model into serious sales growth. On Friday, Bloomberg reported that the lab is targeting $2 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year, double the company’s reported revenue run rate for August. It’s an aggressive goal that reflects the success of the company’s K3 model since its release this summer.
While K3’s usage figures have declined slightly in recent months, OpenRouter data currently shows as many as 300 billion tokens being generated each day by K3 models on the system.
Moonshot’s projected revenue is still dwarfed by that of OpenAI and Anthropic, which recent reports put at $40 billion and $65 billion , respectively. Because Moonshot’s model weights are freely available, the company has far lower margins than its closed-weight competitors. The rising projections show there’s still money to be made from open-weight AI models, even if they’re not as lucrative as closed-weight frontier models.
Still, Moonshot’s model development practices remain controversial — if not downright illegal. Earlier this week, Anthropic accused the company of a long-running model distillation campaign that routed nearly 300,000 requests from Kimi directly to Claude Opus, effectively serving Opus in place of Kimi’s own models. In total, more than 23 million responses were collected from Anthropic models for use in Moonshot’s training, the company alleged.
