BEIJING, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Chinese artificial intelligence startup Moonshot AI apologised on Monday ​for rate limiting ‌and unnecessary quota consumption after its Kimi K3.1 Pro launch.

Here are some details:

• Beijing-based Moonshot said ‌on ​its Kimi X ⁠account that it ⁠was offering to reset the monthly quota of all subscribers by 25%, which it ​said equals one week’s usage

• Subscribers with ⁠usage below 25% ⁠reset to zero

• Moonshot ​said it also adjusted parameters ​to reduce unnecessary subagent calls ‌and output length, referring to the delegation of tasks among AI agents and ⁠the total number of tokens generated in response to a prompt

• ⁠Moonshot ‌previously had issues ⁠with computing capacity after ​K3 ‌was launched

• Chinese AI ​labs ⁠are suffering from computing shortages following US chip export controls
