China's Moonshot AI is negotiating with Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet's Google to host its Kimi K3 model on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, seeking up to a 30% revenue share.
- A deal would mark the first major revenue-sharing pact between a Chinese AI firm and a major U.S. cloud company.
- Discussions are at an early stage and no agreements have been signed yet.
- Kimi K3 is considered genuinely competitive and cost-effective, despite U.S. national security concerns and chip export bans.
