A $35B Series F for a Chinese LLM API play signals that enterprise AI infrastructure is consolidating around a few deep-pocketed players who can afford the compute arms race—this isn't about product-market fit anymore, it's about who can sustain R&D burn at scale. If you're building developer tools or SaaS on top of LLMs, watch whether Kimi's API pricing or latency becomes a competitive moat; if they're raising this much, they're likely subsidizing inference to lock in volume, which changes the unit economics for anyone building on top.
