Kimi-maker Moonshot AI targets $2B in annual revenue
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.

- This goal doubles the company's reported revenue run rate from August.
- The target is driven by the success of the company's K3 open-weight model.
- Daily token generation by K3 models on OpenRouter reaches up to 300 billion.
- Moonshot's revenue target is smaller than OpenAI's ($40B) and Anthropic's ($65B).
- Open-weight models offer lower margins compared to closed-weight models.
- Anthropic accuses Moonshot AI of model distillation, routing requests to Claude Opus.
- Over 23 million responses were allegedly collected from Anthropic models for Moonshot's training.
