Moonshot AI Open Platform Officially Launches Public Testing


The Alipay AI Life Assistant Aobao officially opened public testing on July 2nd, allowing iOS and Android users to experience it directly without an invitation code. After a month of internal testing and iteration, the app has officially entered large-scale market verification. The public testing version highlights its service capabilities in life scenarios.
The well-known AI startup "Moonshot AI" is seeking another round of financing, targeting $2 billion. If successful, its valuation could reach $30 billion, a sevenfold increase from last December. The company has developed the chatbot Kimi and is in discussions with potential investors, expecting to raise at least $1 billion.
Moonshot AI officially announced that the API for the Kimi K2 series model will cease maintenance on May 25th. Users are required to migrate to the latest model, kimi-k2.6, to obtain ongoing support and enhanced multimodal capabilities. The K2 series includes multiple versions, which were renowned for their trillions of parameters since their release in July of last year and have now reached the end of their lifecycle.
After completing a $2 billion funding round, Moonshot AI initiated an organizational restructuring, dismantling the VIE and red chip structure to remove regulatory obstacles for its Hong Kong IPO. The core of the restructuring involves converting offshore entities into domestic joint ventures, ensuring compliance with regulations for Chinese technology companies listed overseas, paving the way for the Hong Kong listing.
Moonshot AI has released and open-sourced its flagship model Kimi K2.6, achieving significant improvements in programming, long-range tasks, and multi-agent collaboration. The model is now available on the company's official website, app, API, and programming assistant, and has demonstrated excellent performance in multiple authoritative tests, including the challenging Humanity's Last Exam benchmark.
