Where did you get that from? That‘s not what the license says: https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Kimi-K3/blob/main/LICENSE

The current price is likely a result of the high demand and the high requirements of this model.

Did you actually read the license?

> If the Licensee or any of its affiliates operates a Model as a Service business, and the aggregate revenue of the Licensee and its affiliates exceeds 20 million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total over any consecutive 12 months, the Licensee must enter into a separate agreement with Moonshot AI before using the Software or its derivative works for any commercial purpose.

I stand corrected. I read over that multiple times somehow.

Looks as if these companies could wait until they reach $20 million of revenue with Kimi K3 until they enter a separate agreement.

if you’re hosting it then you have to have an agreement with Moonshot, which presumably includes terms about pricing.
Only if "the aggregate revenue of the Licensee and its affiliates exceeds 20 million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total over any consecutive 12 months"
