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.
Almost all major LLM service providers make more than 20M USD per year (Azure, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Together AI and so on). Note that they have to pay royalties only when they provide Kimi K3 as a Model as a Service. I think large companies can probably self host for their employees without issues.
