Moonshot AI is in discussions with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google for revenue sharing on its Kimi K3 model, seeking up to 30% of revenue from services hosted on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Similar agreements are already active with smaller platforms. This deal could represent the first major collaboration between a Chinese AI company and U.S. cloud giants. AI and crypto news continues to emphasize cross-industry partnerships, while interest rate developments remain a key factor for investors monitoring tech and crypto market movements.

ChainThink reports that, on August 26, sources familiar with the matter revealed that Moonshot AI is in discussions with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google regarding revenue-sharing agreements to allow the three U.S. cloud giants to host its Kimi K3 model.

Moonshot seeks up to a 30% revenue share from services related to Kimi K3 on Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, with terms substantially consistent with those offered to large customers using open-weight models.

Currently, Moonshot has signed similar agreements with some smaller cloud platforms. If negotiations are successful, this agreement could become the first significant model revenue-sharing partnership between a Chinese AI company and a major U.S. cloud provider.

Meanwhile, Alibaba is also seeking to establish revenue-sharing arrangements with its primary users of the new open-source AI model.
