CNBC：Kimi 背后的中国实验室月之暗面寻求租用欧洲数据中心的英伟达 Blackwell 芯片。
该公司与新兴云服务商讨论了交易；这类非中国的 GPU 租赁公司可以购买这些硬件。
美国出口管制禁止将这些芯片运往中国，但并未普遍涵盖从海外服务器租用这些芯片的行为。
白宫在 7 月指责月之暗面在泰国使用同一途径，一名消息人士称，欧洲的洽谈是在此之后进行的。
一名人士描述了包含 8,000 个或更多 Blackwell GPU 的集群，称寻求租用这些集群主要是为了向用户提供 Kimi 服务。
根据一项拟议的租约，月之暗面支付的预付款将比非中国租户高出 30% 至 50%，以便在华盛顿禁止远程访问时为新兴云服务商提供缓冲。
据报道，英伟达告知云服务提供商，新合同中至少 51% 的服务必须提供给非中国客户。
这一上限仍为中国买家留下 49% 的份额，使一家大型欧洲新兴云服务商能够向月之暗面出租 8,000 个 GPU。

CNBC: Moonshot AI, the Chinese lab behind Kimi, has sought to rent Nvidia Blackwell chips in European data centers. It discussed deals with neoclouds, non-Chinese GPU rental firms that can buy the hardware. U.S. export controls bar shipping those chips to China but don’t broadly cover renting them from servers abroad. The White House accused Moonshot in July of using the same route in Thailand, and a source said the European talks came afterward. One person described clusters of 8,000 or more Blackwell GPUs, sought mainly for serving Kimi to users. Under one proposed lease, Moonshot would pay 30% to 50% more upfront than a non-Chinese renter, cushioning neoclouds if Washington bans remote access. Nvidia reportedly told cloud providers that on new contracts, at least 51% of services must go to non-Chinese customers. That cap still leaves 49% for Chinese buyers, letting a large European neocloud rent Moonshot 8,000 GPUs.
