Kimi-maker Moonshot AI targets $2 billion in annual revenue
Moonshot is aiming to double its August revenue run rate by year-end.
Bloomberg reported the Kimi maker is targeting $2 billion in annualized revenue, helped by usage of its K3 open-weight model. OpenRouter data cited in the piece shows up to 300 billion K3 tokens generated daily, though usage has slipped slightly. TechCrunch notes the target remains far below reported revenue figures for OpenAI and Anthropic, and that open-weight economics carry lower margins. The story also flags Anthropic’s allegation that Moonshot routed Kimi requests to Claude Opus and collected more than 23 million Anthropic responses for training. TechCrunch AI's note
