Moonshot AI khởi động vòng gọi vốn trước IPO trị giá 500 tỷ USD khi mô hình K3 thúc đẩy sự gia tăng định giá

The Huoxing Caijing report, citing an exclusive article from the Science and Technology Daily, states that Moonshot AI's G-round (Pre-IPO) financing has officially commenced, with a valuation of $50 billion. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that funding demand "suddenly surged" after the release of the K3 model, with multiple institutions already registering their investment interest. Investors must complete payment by August 15; to be directly listed on the shareholder register, fund managers must oversee assets exceeding $500 million. The company's F-round financing (at a $35 billion valuation) was fully settled last week, raising an actual $3.5 billion. In April this year, the company's valuation was approximately $18 billion, nearly tripling in just three months. According to insiders, the core driver behind this valuation surge is the release of the K3 model. On July 27, Moonshot AI officially open-sourced the complete model weights of Kimi K3, becoming the world's first deployed open-source large model with 3 trillion parameters. Currently, API revenue accounts for over 70% of the company's total revenue, and ARR has multiplied several times since the K3 release. Regarding recent reports claiming the company would submit its IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange "as early as this month," insiders responded that "the information is untrue; the G-round financing is still ongoing." As of publication, Moonshot AI has not issued an official statement on this matter.
