Moonshot AI Negotiates Revenue Share With US Cloud Providers

Chinese artificial intelligence developer Moonshot AI is in preliminary negotiations with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to deploy its Kimi K3 language model across their major cloud platforms, a potential deal that would mark the first significant revenue-sharing arrangement between a Chinese AI company and leading American cloud providers. The Beijing-based firm is seeking up to 30 percent of revenues generated from K3-powered services on Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions. The talks, reported by Reuters, remain in early stages with no certainty that binding agreements will emerge.
