Moonshot signed August deal to rent Super Micro B300 servers in China, Bloomberg says
Techmeme, citing Andy Lin of Bloomberg, said filings show Chinese AI startup Moonshot signed an August deal to rent 32 China-based Super Micro servers with Nvidia B300 chips, possibly in breach of U.S. rules.
Techmeme, citing a Bloomberg report by Andy Lin, said filings show Chinese AI startup Moonshot signed a deal in August to rent 32 Super Micro servers based in China and equipped with Nvidia B300 chips1.
The Techmeme item described the B300 as Nvidia's most powerful AI chip and said the arrangement possibly breached U.S. rules1. WhatsNewPaper could not independently read the Bloomberg article behind a paywall1.
U.S. export controls have long limited sales of Nvidia's most advanced AI accelerators to China; this filing does not establish that Nvidia or Super Micro sold the hardware into China or that any company broke the law1.
Whether the servers were delivered, who owned them, and how Moonshot, Super Micro and Nvidia respond on the record is not in the Techmeme summary1.
