According to a daily market report, Moonshot AI may use NVIDIA Blackwell chips to train its Kimi K4 model. The company previously relied on NVIDIA hardware for Kimi K3 despite U.S. export controls. If confirmed, this move could illustrate how Chinese firms access restricted technologies. Altcoins to watch may respond to broader shifts in the AI chip supply chain.

ChainThink reports that, on July 30, The Information, citing sources, said Moonshot AI is seeking to acquire more NVIDIA Blackwell AI chips to train its next-generation Kimi K4 model.

Reports indicate that Moonshot previously used NVIDIA chips to train Kimi K3, and U.S. export controls prohibit the export of advanced AI chips to China.

The report suggests that, if the information is accurate, Chinese AI companies may still gain access to NVIDIA's latest generation of AI chips, once again raising questions about the effectiveness of U.S. export restrictions on advanced AI chips.
