Moonshot Openly Defies the Trump Administration by Seeking Access to Additional NVIDIA GPUs for Training the Next-Gen Kimi K4 Model

Moonshot is reportedly seeking more NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to train its larger Kimi K4 model after releasing the open-source Kimi K3.

The company may look for compute outside China, even as US export controls could limit access to advanced chips.

The move highlights how hard it is to secure frontier AI training capacity amid rising US-China chip restrictions.

If true, the effort could become another test of how tightly export rules around NVIDIA hardware are enforced.
