Moonshot suspends new subscriptions after Kimi K3 launch overwhelms servers

Moonshot AI temporarily suspended new consumer subscriptions for Kimi after demand for its newly launched Kimi K3 model exceeded projections and pushed its compute infrastructure close to maximum capacity. User requests in the 48 hours following the Kimi K3 launch surged far beyond the company's expectations. Moonshot AI said it will dedicate all available computing resources to current subscribers to preserve service quality.
