	tl;dr: Moonshot AI has paused new Kimi K3 subscriptions after demand over the past 48 hours pushed GPU capacity to its limits, though existing subscribers are unaffected. The company is adding capacity and will reopen signups in batches. It also plans to split its offering into two tiers: Kimi Membership (Web, App, Work) and Kimi Code Membership (coding workflows) to better allocate compute.
	HN Discussion: ↑Praise for Moonshot prioritizing existing customers over unchecked growth ↑Contrast with Google/other providers who silently reduce limits instead of pausing ↓Frustration with Kimi's actual usage limits and slow performance under load •Positive technical assessment of Kimi K3's architecture and coding capabilities ~Skepticism about whether Chinese labs can scale to compete with OpenAI/Anthropic on capacity
