The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF . Chinese startup Moonshot AI is seeking access to more of Nvidia Corp.’s advanced Blackwell chips to train the next version of its model, Kimi K4, The Information reported, citing sources it didn’t name. The Beijing-based artificial intelligence firm trained its earlier model, Kimi K3, using Nvidia chips, Bloomberg previously reported, even though US export controls restrict the sale of advanced chips to China over security concerns. The development is likely to exacerbate transatlantic angst about Chinese AI models closing the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic PBC. When Moonshot originally announced its Kimi K3 model, which was released publicly on Monday, that triggered a selloff in AI-related stocks. Much like DeepSeek’s release in early 2025, the K3 debut was taken as evidence that Chinese companies can keep pace on a smaller budget and with fewer cutting-edge resources than rivals with full access to Nvidia AI accelerators.
