Moonshot AI list prices by class, with the newest change
Class Model In Out Last change
Flagshipkimi-k3.1-prosource 1No published price. Moonshot’s pricing page (platform.kimi.ai/docs/pricing/chat) draws its price tables in the browser: the page as served, in Markdown and in HTML, holds an empty table. We read no price for any Kimi model rather than run the page’s scripts or read an aggregator’s.
BalancednoneNot mapped. Moonshot’s model list names Kimi K3.1 Pro its flagship, a high-speed variant with “same intelligence, about 2-3× the speed”, and the previous-generation K3. None is described by cost.
EconomynoneNot mapped. No Moonshot page names a model for cost-sensitive work. The K2 models that cost less are closed to new users and retire by the end of December 2026.

Disclosed revenue

None filed. No SEC filing reports this lab’s revenue. We don’t use run-rates from press reports.

Open roles
No public feed. careers.kimi.ai (linked from moonshot.ai) is a client-rendered app whose sitemap lists 10 static pages and no job (checked 2026-11-04). Greenhouse, Ashby and Lever boards named moonshotai and moonshot.ai answer 404. The Ashby board "moonshot" (5 roles) belongs to a different company, a crypto trading app.
Incidents, 30 days
No public feed. status.moonshot.cn is a Statuspage site whose robots.txt disallows /api/, the only machine-readable path, and whose RSS and Atom history feeds are switched off (they redirect to an inactive feed that answers 404). There is no status page at a moonshot.ai or kimi.ai host (checked 2026-11-04). Read once for this audit, its incident JSON held 50 incidents in under three months, every one marked critical: 25 Kimi Code latency and speed alarms and 18 search-service error alarms. Its counts would not compare with the other labs' even if it could be read.
