CHINESE AI LAB SEEKS NVIDIA BLACKWELL CHIPS THROUGH EUROPEAN DATA CENTERS China's Moonshot AI has reportedly explored renting Nvidia's advanced Blackwell computing capacity in Europe, potentially circumventing US restrictions on chip exports to China. According to CNBC, discussions included access to clusters of 8,000 or more Blackwell GPUs, with Moonshot potentially offering 30%–50% higher upfront payments than non-Chinese customers. US export controls restrict physical chip shipments to China, but remote access through overseas cloud providers remains a regulatory gap. Washington is considering legislation to close that loophole.(彭博社)
