Moonshot AI Company Profile

Moonshot AI is a Beijing-based artificial intelligence company founded in March 2023 by schoolfriends Yang Zhilin, Zhou Xinyu and Wu Yuxin, who met at Tsinghua University. It builds the Kimi family of open-weight large language models, along with Kimi Researcher, Kimi Agent and the Kimi Code command-line coding agent, and is counted among China's six 'AI Tigers.'

By July 2026 Moonshot reached a $35 billion valuation, the second-highest of any privately held Chinese AI company after DeepSeek, with major investors including Alibaba Group and Tencent.
