1 2月 末的AI圈异常热闹：智谱、MiniMax的"港股AI第一股"之争刚落幕，2025年最后一天，月之暗面 （Kimi）默默甩出最后一炸：完成5亿美金的新一轮融资。 根据月之暗面提供给我们的官方信息，本轮融资由IDG领投，阿里、腾讯等 月之暗面老股东超额认 购，公司投后估值达43亿美元。据《智能涌现》了解，月之暗面这一轮超额认购的老股东，还包括高榕 创投和今日资本。 文｜邓咏仪 编辑｜苏建勋 超额认购，意味着老股东对被投项目持续看好。所谓超额认购（Super Pro Rata），通俗来说，这是一 种让早期投资者在后续融资中"加仓"，并扩大持股比例的特殊权利。 举个例子，机构A在投前占月之暗面股比5%，而在引入新股东后，机构A想维持5%的份额，需要继续 下注（Pro Rata），那如果想要获得5%以外的更多份额，就要加仓更多金额，这就是超额认购(Super Pro Rata)。 除了融资消息以外，12月31日，月之暗面创始人杨植麟也发布内部信，披露了几个关键信号： 加大人才激励：春节前会确定K2 Thinking模型和产品的奖励方案。2026年平均激励会是2025年的 200%，同时大幅上调期权回购额度； ...
