Deep Tide TechFlow, Nov. 10 — According to Bloomberg, regulatory filings it reviewed show that Moonshot AI rented 32 servers equipped with Nvidia B300 GPUs this summer. The filings valued the servers at a total of RMB 432 million (about $64.8 million) and stated that the equipment was located in China. This could violate U.S. rules prohibiting the sale of such chips to China without explicit authorization, though Bloomberg said it could not confirm whether authorization had been obtained. The documents were signed on Aug. 4 by the server owner, Lingmeixin (Beijing) Technology, and Beijing Zhongguancun Bank, and submitted on Aug. 6 to a database maintained by a credit reporting agency under the People’s Bank of China. The contract shows that Zhongguancun Bank provided a RMB 200 million loan to purchase the servers, with Lingmeixin providing dual collateral: the servers themselves and RMB 345.6 million in proceeds from a service contract with Beijing Moonshot Technology, Moonshot AI’s operating entity. This implies a value of RMB 13.5 million (about $2 million) per server, roughly 350% above the U.S. market price. Moonshot AI denied the claims. A spokesperson said the company has no business relationship with Lingmeixin, was neither involved in nor authorized the financing or collateral arrangements, and was unaware of them; the spokesperson also questioned the accuracy of the documents. Bloomberg said that after it sought comment from Moonshot AI, Lingmeixin, and Zhongguancun Bank on Nov. 3, references to Moonshot AI no longer appeared in the database. Nvidia said the entities involved were not its customers and that it would not provide them with replacement products, services, or support. Super Micro Computer said it had no business dealings with those entities and emphasized that it complies with U.S. export and reexport controls. The background is that U.S. officials had previously accused Moonshot AI of using restricted Blackwell chips to train frontier models. After Kimi K3 was released, a White House official said the company had obtained restricted Nvidia hardware.
