Moonshot AI, developer of the Kimi model, is reportedly close to a $2 billion funding round valuing it above $20 billion, with Meituan’s Long-Z Fund said to lead and China Mobile and CPE participating. If accurate, the financing would push total fundraising above $3.9 billion in under six months, reinforcing winner-take-most dynamics in China’s large-model ecosystem.
An interview in The Diplomat argues that North Korea’s personality cult drew on Pyongyang’s earlier Presbyterian missionary milieu, adapting familiar religious forms into a state ideology centered on the Kim dynasty. The piece suggests Washington should weigh ideological resilience alongside nuclear risk, while treating faith-based engagement channels as tactically useful but structurally constrained.
Technode reports that Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.5 generated more revenue in the past 20 days than in all of 2025, driven by growth in global paying users and API usage. The company is also said to be raising over $700 million in a new round co-led by Alibaba, Tencent, Wuyuan Capital, and Ji’an Investment, with overseas revenue now surpassing domestic income.
