MOONSHOT SEEKS $NVDA BLACKWELL ACCESS IN EUROPE Chinese AI lab Moonshot, the developer of Kimi, has held talks to rent clusters of 8,000+ Nvidia Blackwell GPUs from European 🇪🇺 neoclouds, primarily for inference and potentially training, CNBC reports. The White House previously accused Moonshot of accessing Blackwell chips remotely through a data center in Thailand. U.S. export controls restrict shipments of these chips to China, but don't broadly prohibit Chinese companies from renting the same computing power through overseas cloud providers. One proposed arrangement reportedly involved Moonshot paying 30%-50% more upfront than non-Chinese customers, reflecting the risk of future restrictions. No completed deal has been confirmed.

Moonshot AI didn't have to do this stupid Kimi K3.1 pro launch campaign the model was okay and we would have praised it anyway but doing illegal marketing campaign before they IPO is such a bad move from them. Congratulations you played yourself.
