China Startup Moonshot Wants More Nvidia Blackwell Chips for Next Model

 

• A report said Moonshot trained its 2.8 trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model using Nvidia chips, including advanced Blackwell GPUs, breaching U.S. export restrictions.
• Moonshot is also said to have stitched together computing capacity from at least two Chinese cloud providers because no single supplier could provide enough Blackwell chips.
• White House official Michael Kratsios alleged last week that Moonshot accessed Nvidia GB300 systems in Thailand despite U.S. export controls

Chinese artificial intelligence startup Moonshot AI is seeking access to more of Nvidia Corp.'s (NVDA) advanced Blackwell chips to train its next-generation Kimi K4 model.

According to a report by The Information citing people familiar with the matter, Moonshot is planning a significantly larger successor to its recently launched Kimi K3 model.
