Moonshot AI in cloud revenue-share talks with US tech giants
Reuters reported that Beijing-based Moonshot AI is in early-stage talks with Microsoft, Amazon and Google over revenue-sharing deals to host its open-weight Kimi K3 model on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, seeking up to 30% of related revenue. A deal would be the first such revenue-sharing pact between a major Chinese AI firm and a big US cloud provider, though unresolved issues include how revenue would be split, data access and auditing of token usage, and there is no guarantee an agreement is reached.
