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.

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.

Nvidia is working on a fresh round of AI deals worth more than $750 billion, accelerating investments that skeptics have warned are artificially inflating demand and valuations across the industry.

A partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group unveiled late Friday means the companies will be doing more than $500 billion in business with each other, Nvidia said. The world’s most valuable company is also in talks to backstop as much as $250 billion to help OpenAI lease computing power from a US data center project in what would be among the chipmaker’s biggest financing deals with a customer.

Big names from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to investor Michael Burry of “Big Short” fame have for months warned of the “circular” nature of such agreements, where Nvidia finances and takes stakes in companies and projects that use its chips. And yet, the pace of the deals is only quickening. The fear with these transactions is that they may skew demand, spur bad decision-making and magnify losses if AI fails to turn profits for those investing hundreds of billions of dollars in the technology.
Nvidia is also in discussions to finance $350 billion of OpenAI’s purchases of its chips for the US project, according to a person familiar with the matter. And on Monday, the company said it has made a “substantial” investment in Safe Superintelligence Inc., the AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. People familiar with the situation said Nvidia committed $5 billion.
