Exclusive-China's Moonshot in talks with Microsoft, Amazon, Google over K3 revenue sharing, sources say
- China’s Moonshot AI is in early talks with Microsoft, Amazon and Google to let the U.S. cloud giants host its powerful Kimi K3 model, seeking up to a 30% revenue share.
- The negotiations are notable because Kimi K3 is gaining U.S. traction despite Washington’s security concerns, allegations of IP theft and talk of putting Moonshot on a trade blacklist.
- Kimi K3 scores highly in third‑party benchmarks, and Moonshot — backed by Alibaba — raised over $2 billion and is preparing for a possible IPO.
