Moonshot AI's intelligent assistant Kimi has quietly launched a new Agent membership service, sparking user discussions. Last night, multiple users received a thank-you letter when opening the Kimi interface, offering tailored benefits for users who had previously made donations: the donation amount will be fully converted into membership duration after subscribing to a membership.
For example, a user who subscribes for one month will receive an additional nine months of membership time. This thoughtful design has surprised early supporters. Users with donation records are advised to check details in the App as the opportunity is limited. Membership tiers with brilliant creativity: named after musical rhythms, covering free to premium levels. Kimi's membership system uses tempo terms from classical music, cleverly integrating art and technology, showcasing the brand's creativity.
The free version corresponds to "Adagio" (slow movement), allowing users to enjoy all conversation services infinitely, with limitations only on the usage quota for in-depth research on Agents - existing features can be used without paying.
Paid options include: Andante (Moderate Tempo): 49 yuan per month, offering more K2 models and in-depth research quotas, along with equivalent API redemption coupons, suitable for daily in-depth users.
Moderato (Moderate Speed): 99 yuan per month (approximately 19 USD overseas at the same level), with further increased quotas, supporting concurrent execution of in-depth research, and also offering equivalent API coupons, providing excellent value for money.
Overseas users also have the top-tier "Vivace" plan, 199 USD per month, unlocking priority access during peak hours, ensuring efficient response. This design ensures free users do not miss out on core functionality, optimizing the paid path for high-frequency Agent usage, balancing accessibility and professional needs.
The In-depth Research Agent shines: exclusive model outputs professional insights. The core highlight of Kimi's Agent membership is the "In-depth Research" capability, with an experience based on the exclusive model that far exceeds general modes. Unlike simple information summaries, it can perform advanced searches, generate multi-dimensional perspective analyses and cognitive discoveries, outputting professional-level research reports.
For instance, in complex topic discussions, the Agent not only lists facts but also extracts unique insights, helping users make efficient decisions. Users who haven't experienced it are encouraged to try the free quota to feel this differentiated advantage. A new chapter in AI commercialization: Kimi moves toward a sustainable ecosystem. The launch of this membership service marks Kimi's transformation from a free tool to a commercial platform.
This year, the iteration of the K2 model and in-depth research functions has been widely recognized. This move will help Moonshot AI continue to invest in innovation. Compared to overseas competitors, the domestic pricing is more affordable, and the API benefits further lower the barriers for developers.
