Moonshot rented Nvidia B300 servers under August contract, Bloomberg reports

Moonshot AI signed a contract in August to rent 32 Super Micro Computer servers equipped with Nvidia's B300 processors, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing documents filed with Beijing regulators.

Why it matters: A signed rental contract, rather than the exploratory talks reported last week, would show a Chinese AI lab securing access to Nvidia's most advanced processors despite US controls that bar their sale to China, and it puts the server maker Super Micro inside the arrangement.

Data as of Investing.com report of November 10, 2026, read in full in this run, relaying a Bloomberg report that cites documents filed with Beijing regulators; the filings themselves and Bloomberg's own article were not read directly, no rental price or contract value is reported, the physical location of the servers is not stated in the article body, and no response from Moonshot, Nvidia or Super Micro is reported, so this item is graded C. Developing item.

Moonshot AI, the Beijing lab behind the Kimi models, signed a contract in August to rent 32 Super Micro Computer servers equipped with Nvidia’s B300 graphics processors, described as the most advanced AI processors available, according to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday cited by Investing.com and based on documents filed with Beijing regulators. No rental price or contract value was reported, and the report as relayed does not state where the rented servers are physically located.

The contract is a step beyond the talks this site reported on November 5, when CNBC said Moonshot had discussed renting Blackwell capacity from European cloud providers with no completed deal reported. Nvidia has been effectively blocked from selling its most advanced chips to China since at least 2022, and Chinese developers including Alibaba and ByteDance have been reported signing contracts for access to offshore Nvidia chips earlier this year, while Beijing promotes locally developed alternatives.
