BlockBeats News, April 27th, According to Tencent News' DeepChain, during the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, He Yi revealed to the public at a small-scale KOL meetup that her family office YZi Labs, led by CZ, has invested in a Chinese AI large-scale model company, but did not disclose the specific name of the company.
BlockBeats speculates that the company is highly likely to be the entity behind Kimi's parent company, Moonshot AI. In February of this year, Moonshot AI completed a financing round of over $700 million, led by existing shareholders such as Alibaba, Tencent, 5Y Capital, 9G Health Partners, and GGV Capital. In March, about a month later, Moonshot AI was reported to be raising a new round of up to $1 billion at a valuation of around $18 billion.
It is worth noting that on March 10th, CZ publicly praised "Kimi as the most efficient and proficient in programming" AI model.
Furthermore, Dana, former investment partner at YZi Labs, resigned in March this year, after which her tweets have been focusing on AI for a long time, and she has repeatedly liked Kimi's technical performance, culture, and development team, demonstrating her in-depth understanding of Moonshot AI. Dana X's account has also been followed by Moonshot AI's CEO, Zhang Yutong.
