Moonshot AI discussed leasing Blackwell capacity from European operators
See how this story connectsCNBC reported that Moonshot AI discussed leasing Nvidia Blackwell computing capacity from neocloud operators in Europe, citing four people familiar with the private talks. One source described potential clusters of 8,000 or more GPUs, and one said a proposal called for Moonshot to pay 30% to 50% more upfront than a non-Chinese customer. Moonshot did not respond to a request for comment on the report.
Why it matters
US regulators have no broad authority over remote access to controlled chips through overseas cloud services, and the Remote Access Security Act, which would add it, is still before the Senate.
