Grant for student/ambassador

Hey everyone!

I’m Dima, 16 years old, from Russia. Starting this September at Sirius — it’s basically Russia’s top federal STEM center for talented students, focused on advanced math and machine learning. I’m also a graduate of Yandex Lyceum’s ML program.

I’ve been working with AI and embedded systems for a couple of years now, and Kimi has become my go-to LLM for two projects:

MyMicroAI — a pocket-sized open-source AI assistant on a custom microcontroller. I use Kimi for on-device intent recognition and generating microcontroller code.

Autonomous FPV Drone — real-time CV pipeline on Raspberry Pi 5 + YOLO. I’m planning to integrate Kimi’s multimodal capabilities for scene understanding and decision-making: the drone sees an object → LLM describes the situation → makes a call.

What I’m looking for: Developer API access (or a student/ambassador program if one exists).

What I can offer:

Start a blog about Kimi on Russian TikTok

Collect feedback from real-world embedded scenarios (edge, low-latency, microcontrollers)

Showcase Kimi at Sirius hackathons and competitions

Actively use Kimi in open-source projects

If there’s an official developer program or ambassador track, I’d love to know how to apply. Or if anyone from the team is around would appreciate a pointer in the right direction!

I love Kimi!
