Moonshot AI is a Chinese artificial intelligence company founded in March 2023 by Yang Zhilin, Zhou Xinyu, and Wu Yuxin, headquartered in Beijing. Its name, “ Moonshot,” comes from Yang’s favorite album, *The Dark Side of the Moon*, and reflects its ambition to pursue bold, high‑impact AI goals. The company focuses on building large language models and has set three milestones toward artificial general intelligence: extremely long context handling, a multimodal world model, and a scalable architecture that can continuously improve without human input. Its flagship product is **Kimi**, a chatbot capable of processing very long conversations and performing deep reasoning, with newer versions like Kimi K2 using advanced mixture‑of‑experts designs. Backed by major investors such as Alibaba and Tencent, Moonshot AI has quickly become one of China’s most prominent “AI Tiger” companies.
