Kimi-maker Moonshot AI targets $2 billion in annual revenue

Moonshot AI targets $2 billion annualized revenue by year-end on K3 open-weight demand; Anthropic alleges Kimi routed ~300,000 requests to Claude Opus.

Bloomberg reported that Moonshot AI is targeting $2 billion in annualized revenue by the end of 2026, double its August run rate, driven by its open-weight K3 model. OpenRouter data shows up to 300 billion tokens generated per day by K3 models, though usage has slipped slightly in recent months. Moonshot's projection remains far below reported figures for OpenAI ($40B) and Anthropic ($65B), with lower margins due to freely available weights. Anthropic this week alleged Kimi routed nearly 300,000 requests to Claude Opus and collected more than 23 million responses for use in Moonshot's training.

nex-agi/Nex-N2.5-Pro — new model trending #30 on Hugging Face

Nex-AGI launches Nex-N2.5 agentic model family (mini/Pro/Max), with Max built on a 1.6-trillion-parameter MoE foundation.

Nex-AGI introduced Nex-N2.5, a next-generation family of agentic models in three sizes (mini, Pro, Max) focused on long-horizon agentic tasks including computer use, web browsing, and autonomous program execution. Nex-N2.5-Max is built on a 1.6-trillion-parameter text-only Mixture-of-Experts foundation, marking the company's first complete post-training effort at trillion-parameter scale. Weights will be released open-source on Hugging Face and ModelScope, with hosted access via OpenRouter. Benchmark comparisons against Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Kimi-K3, GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, and Qwen3.8-Max show competitive scores on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and SWE-Bench Pro, though weights were listed as "coming soon" at publication.

Up to 30x More Work Per Watt: NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Sets a New Efficiency Standard for AI Agents

NVIDIA claims Vera Rubin NVL72 delivers up to 30x more work per watt, citing OpenRouter data that agentic workloads use 15x more tokens than chat.

NVIDIA positions the Vera Rubin NVL72 as a new efficiency standard for AI agents, claiming up to 30x more work per watt. The company cites OpenRouter data showing agentic AI workloads consume 15x more tokens than a simple chat request, using a financial-research agent example that spawns sub-agents and multiple tool calls. The piece is largely a product efficiency narrative rather than independent benchmarking.
