# Moonshot AI ## Kurzbeschreibung **"Seeking the optimal conversion from energy to intelligence"** **Moonshot AI** is the provider behind Kimi, an LLM and agent platform focused on long contexts, coding, deep research, documents, spreadsheets, slides, web search, and multimodal processing. The Kimi API offers models such as Kimi K2.6, K2.5, K2, and Moonshot-v1. ## Claim LLM “Seeking the optimal conversion from energy to intelligence” ## Geeignet für - API Integration - Automation / Workflows - Data Analysis - Data Extraction / Document Analysis - Presentations - Programming / Software Development - Research - Texts / Content - Knowledge Management / Internal Search ## Kernfunktionen - Function Calling - AI Agents - LLM API - Multimodal AI - Open Source Model - Programming - Reasoning Model - Language Model - Text Generation ## Preismodell - **other:** **Pay-as-you-go API** Flexible, usage-based billing according to input and output tokens, model selection, and, where applicable, document/tool usage; suitable for developers and small teams. **Kimi K2.6 / K2.5 / K2 / Moonshot V1** Model families for multimodal or text-based tasks, long context, coding, agents, reasoning, and dialogue tasks. **Enterprise Solutions & Customization** For medium-sized and large companies with flexible rate limits, multi-project deployments, support, SLA-oriented reliability, and individual agreements according to the platform page. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar **On-prem / local hosting: indirect / not available** The website does not mention any on-premises or local deployment of the Moonshot/Kimi models on the customer’s own infrastructure. There are only references to the local use of external tools such as OpenClaw or MoonPalace, not to a self-hostable model offering. **Private Cloud / Data Center: Unclear** The homepage mentions enterprise solutions and “security and compliance assurance,” but the website does not specify a dedicated private cloud deployment, an isolated EU/EEA data center, or comparable controlled hosting models. **EU SaaS / Managed: unclear** A managed SaaS offering is clearly identifiable, but EU/EEA data residency or an EU/EEA data center are not specified on the website. Therefore, EU SaaS operations cannot be verified. **Hybrid: Partially** OpenClaw describes a local or self-hosted agent path that can be combined with Kimi as an external model provider. This indirectly indicates a hybrid usage model, though it is not an officially described hybrid product with data protection or EU hosting guarantees. **SLA / DPA: unclear** Although an “Order Form” is mentioned in the Terms, no DPA or publicly available data processing agreement is provided on the website. **No Training: Unclear** No clear disclaimer can be found on the website stating that prompts, uploads, chat histories, or outputs will not be used to train general-purpose models. On the contrary, MoonPalace refers to the export of BadCase data to improve model capabilities; no opt-out option is specified on the website. **Open Source / Transparency Path: Partial** There is a discernible transparency path regarding open-source references: Kimi K2.5 is described as “open-source SoTA,” Kimi CLI is referred to as an open-source AI agent, and OpenClaw is described as an open-source/self-hosted platform. However, the actual hosting, compliance, and sovereignty options for the core offering are only partially documented. **Data Processing** The website describes an API/cloud model with file uploads, file storage, and various official tools. This suggests that external data processing by the provider is likely. For enterprise customers, data protection and compliance safeguards are mentioned in general terms. Specific details regarding data location, storage location, retention periods, subprocessors, international data transfers, or EU/EEA data residency are not provided on the website. **Conclusion** For users in Europe, based on the specified domain, it is not possible to provide reliable evidence of GDPR-compliant use. Positive aspects include the availability of legal documents, Enterprise-specific information, and a certain degree of open-source and local integration options. However, the key compliance evidence required for EU/EEA use is missing for a positive or even merely qualified assessment. **Sources** - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/](https://platform.moonshot.ai/) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse.en-US](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/agreement/modeluse.en-US) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-kimi-in-openclaw](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-kimi-in-openclaw) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/blog/posts/what-is-openclaw/](https://platform.moonshot.ai/blog/posts/what-is-openclaw/) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-moonpalace](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-moonpalace) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-kimi-vision-model](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/guide/use-kimi-vision-model) - [https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/api/files](https://platform.moonshot.ai/docs/api/files) Although the specified domain https://platform.moonshot.ai/ contains references to data protection and compliance, the information essential for a robust GDPR assessment throughout the EU/EEA is either missing or cannot be found on this domain. In particular, the website does not specify: the specific server location or data center location, EU/EEA data residency, subprocessors, the Data Processing Agreement (DPA), the option to opt out of model training, or relevant certifications. Since only information from this domain may be taken into account, overall compliance cannot be reliably verified. **Positive** The website provides links to a privacy policy and terms of use. Additionally, the homepage for enterprise offerings mentions “data compliance and privacy protections.” There is also an open-source/locally-based approach via documented integrations with OpenClaw, as well as references to open-source components such as Kimi CLI and MoonPalace. **Negative** The website does not specify an EU/EEA server location, EU data residency, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), a list of subprocessors, a contractual exclusion of training with customer data, on-premises or true self-hosting options for the models themselves, or ISO 27001, SOC 2, or comparable certifications. Additionally, the domain redirects to content on a different domain; since only the specified domain may be evaluated, the documentation on the target domain itself remains incomplete. **Server Location** Not specified on the website. No specific location of servers or data centers within the EU/EEA or outside the EU/EEA can be found on the specified domain. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** unknown - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** unknown - **EU SaaS / Managed:** unknown - **Hybrid:** teilweise / indirekt - **AVV / DPA:** unknown - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** unknown - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** teilweise / indirekt ## Standort **Land:** Singapore **Taxonomie:** Singapore MOONSHOT AI PTE.
