Beijing filings link Moonshot AI to a rental of 32 Nvidia B300 servers despite US export curbs, Bloomberg reports
Financing contracts dated August 4 show Lingmeixin (Beijing) Technology borrowing 200 million yuan to buy 32 Super Micro servers with B300 GPUs for Moonshot's main operating unit; Moonshot says it has no business relationship with Lingmeixin, and Nvidia and Super Micro say the entities are not their customers.
Why it matters
Washington bars sales of Nvidia's most advanced chips to China, and the report lands as the company faces scrutiny over its China ties after Jensen Huang admitted an affair with a businesswoman reportedly linked to Beijing. According to the filings, the servers were to sit in Qingyang, a national computing hub, with Moonshot holding usage rights rather than ownership; references to Moonshot vanished from the public database after Bloomberg sought comment on November 3. The contract implied about $2 million per server. Watch for any US Commerce Department response and for Moonshot's next Kimi model.
