Chinese AI providers now handle over 60% of all tokens routed through OpenRouter, up from less than 2% just a year ago.
Moonshot AI closed a $2B round at a $20B valuation, four-times its end-2025 value, on the strength of its Kimi open-weight models and $200M ARR.
Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.6 is a 1T-parameter MoE with 32B active per token, 256K context, a 300-agent swarm running 4,000 coordinated steps, and the top SWE-Bench Pro score among open-weight models at 58.6%.
