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.

Mandeep Singh, Bloomberg Intelligence Global Head of Technology Research
Tejpaul Bhatia, CEO of Nebex on company’s future after SpaceX IPO // Alphabet’s GV Backs Fintech That Aims to Fuel Space Industr

Ronnen Harary co-founded the company that would become Spin Master when he was twenty-three, less than a year out of college, and living at home with his mother. He didn’t realize it at the time, but his youth was his biggest asset. Thirty years later, Spin Master now has twenty-eight offices around the globe, over 3,000 employees, and billions of dollars in annual revenue. Having helped create massive global toy lines, including Bakugan and PAW Patrol, Harary’s success has helped fuel innovation in the toy industry and in children’s animation around the world.

In an age when ever-changing technology threatens to impact traditional entry-level jobs across the spectrum, Harary exhorts young readers to take control of their own destiny. No Experience Necessary is a rallying cry for dreamers to embrace the messy reality of building something meaningful from scratch.
