Kimi

Kimi, the long-context chatbot from Moonshot AI, is no longer just a demo of 2-million-token attention. In March 2026, it shipped Kimi Slides, an AI tool that converts notes into investor-ready decks, and gained a fast-inference outlet via Fireworks AI's Fire Pass with K2.5 Turbo at 250 tokens/second. Underpinning these moves is a proprietary stack: selective layer communication (co-developed with Moonshot) and the OpenClaw technology, while products like TeamoRouter and Kimi Slides themselves use Kimi’s engine. The company's CEO is championing attention residuals to further refine LLM architecture. Yet Kimi directly competes with OpenAI and Anthropic, both far heavier in market share and capital. Its low mention velocity (3 in 30 days) suggests niche visibility. Can its technical differentiation—especially selective layer communication—scale beyond a productivity add-on to truly challenge the incumbents?
