Moonshot AI signed a deal to rent 32 Nvidia B300 servers in China, Bloomberg reports

See how this story connects

Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI start-up, signed a deal in August to rent 32 Super Micro servers fitted with Nvidia B300 chips, according to financing documents seen by Bloomberg. The servers are kept in Qingyang and belong to Lingmeixin, a Beijing company; the rental is worth 432m yuan ($64.8m), about $2m a server. Moonshot disputes that the documents are accurate and says it has no business relationship with the servers’ owner. Nvidia and Super Micro said they do not do business with the firms involved.

Why it matters

The US does not allow these chips to be sold to China without a licence, and Bloomberg could not confirm whether anyone obtained one for these servers.
