Summary
Reuters reported that Moonshot AI is in preliminary talks with Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet’s Google to host its Kimi K3 model on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. The Chinese company is seeking up to 30% of related service revenue, but the discussions may not produce agreements and unresolved issues include revenue splits, data access and token-use auditing.
Why it matters
A deal would establish a major cross-border commercial model precedent amid continuing US-China technology and security tensions, but the talks remain confidential and preliminary.
