Moonshot AI has discussed leasing European data-center and neocloud capacity powered by Nvidia Blackwell chips, whose export to China is prohibited. The talks included clusters of 8,000 or more Blackwell GPUs for inference and potentially training. This move follows the White House’s claim in July that Moonshot had accessed the chips through a data center in Thailand. The Chinese company, which develops the Kimi model family, temporarily suspended new subscriptions because demand had exceeded its computing capacity. U.S. lawmakers are proposing broader controls on remote access to sensitive hardware, while Nvidia has told cloud providers to sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese customers.
