WHAT IT IS
Moonshot AI was founded in 2023 and is a Chinese language-model company. Its Kimi assistant entered early on long-context handling, focusing on reading and answering questions about long documents, and is offered to consumers.
Why it matters
It turned long context into a mass-market selling point, making long-document handling a clear line of competition among Chinese chat products.
