Summary
Around 20,000 Nvidia chips supplied through Alibaba underpin a substantial share of Moonshot’s computing capacity for its Kimi models, according to people familiar with the arrangement.
That agreement highlights how Chinese AI developers still depend on Western semiconductors even as US export curbs pressure access to advanced hardware.
Moonshot gained global attention earlier in July with Kimi K3, an open-source model that on some benchmarks approaches offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic.
