Recently, the tech industry has been abuzz with a major announcement: the renowned AI company Kimi revealed to investors that its overseas revenue has surpassed domestic revenue for the first time. This shift is attributed to the significant growth brought by its latest model, K2.5. Since the launch of K2.5, Kimi's global paid user base has seen an astonishing fourfold increase.

K2.5 quickly climbed to the third position on the Openrouter platform, trailing only behind Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3 Flash, showcasing its strong market competitiveness. Notably, this breakthrough growth occurred just a few days after the new model was released, further proving the market potential of K2.5.

During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on January 29, Yang Zhilin, founder of Moonshot, stated that although the speed of computing power improvements far exceeds the growth of high-quality data, the company is adopting new strategies to overcome these bottlenecks. He mentioned that Kimi is exploring the use of "Agent Swarm" to enhance model efficiency through parallel processing of subtasks. This approach allows AI to complete complex tasks collaboratively, resulting in a 3 to 10-fold improvement in efficiency for large-scale information processing scenarios, demonstrating significant application potential.

Even more excitingly, Kimi's strategic direction is gradually aligning with industry pioneers "Anthropic+Manus." In terms of foundational model intelligence, Kimi focuses on pushing the limits of intelligence, expanding its technological influence through open-source methods. Since the K2 model, Kimi has open-sourced its model weights and toolchain, allowing developers to choose deployment either locally or in the cloud. Additionally, in consumer markets, Kimi clearly positions itself as a developer of productivity tools to provide users with better service.

In short, Kimi's continuous development is constantly redefining industry standards, and its innovation and market adaptability have enabled it to stand out in a highly competitive environment.
